We are the voice of non-formal adult education in Europe

How can adult learning providers and associations better include learners’ voice across their activities? Two mobilities to Dublin encouraged the staff of Lire et Ecrire, Le Monde des Possibles and EAEA to reflect on systemic ways that facilitate equal participation of adults in learning.

“The creation of the Laboratory of Aging is based on three fundamental pillars: research, knowledge, and creation”, says Mariana Ramos from Municipality of Ílhavo. The winning project in the national category of the EAEA Grundtvig Awards introduces us to its activities.

In April 2022, EAEA visited several organisations in Barcelona and Girona that value diversity and community-based approaches. We learned how adult learning organisations can create a welcoming environment for learners from all walks of life.
