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

Between 12–16 January 2026, EAEA organised its third edition of Project Design Training in Brussels, on how to write and conceptualise EU-funded projects in the field of Adult Learning and Education (ALE). This year’s edition highlighted the growing focus of the ALE sector on inclusion, life skills and community-building.

The European Association for the Education of Adults has joined the Call for Action: Towards a Rights-Based, Human- and Planet-Centered Youth and Adult Learning and Education (ALE) in Times of Digitalisation and AI, together with ASPBAE, DVV International and ICAE, to reaffirm the central role of adult learning in shaping a fair, democratic and inclusive digital transformation.

On January 7, the European Citizens’ Initiative “Food is a Human Right for All! Guaranteeing healthy, just and sustainable food systems” from Good Food 4 All started the collection of signatures. The initiative calls for the systematic guarantee of the right to food to promote healthy, just, humane, and sustainable food systems for present and future generations
