EAEA Grundtvig Award 2025 publication out now

EAEA welcomes the European Commission's development of the EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness and emphasises the pivotal role of adult learning and education in supporting responses to the current age structure changes, fostering active ageing and intergenerational learning.

EAEA'S 2026 annual theme is closely linked to current EU priorities, especially the Democracy Package - including the Civil Society Strategy and the Democracy Shield initiative. At a time of rising Euroscepticism and threats to democratic values, adult education has the power to strengthen democracy by promoting civic engagement, critical thinking and participation.

On February 4-5, EAEA participated in a learning symposium and keynote speech around climate education research and action, in Geneva, Switzerland. The events were organised in the context of the Horizon Europe LEVERs project, in which EAEA is a partner.
