EAEA and Forma.Azione have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

In July 2025, EAEA and Forma.Azione have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formalising a long-standing collaboration in the fields of Adult Learning and Education (ALE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET). The agreement marks a shared commitment to continue working together on joint initiatives, sharing knowledge and expertise, and developing common policy positions that support inclusive, high-quality learning opportunities for adults across Europe.

The partnership builds on years of fruitful cooperation between the two organisations in EU-funded projects, advocacy, and peer learning. By formalising this relationship, EAEA and Forma.Azione aims to strengthen their impact, coordinate efforts more strategically, and contribute more effectively to shaping European education and training policies.
