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

Europe’s green and digital transitions are transforming labour markets, but many adults still lack the skills to keep up. The RESCALE project pilots Reskilling Labs to improve support for learners who are currently underrepresented in education.

In January 2026, educators gathered in Timișoara for another ETHLAE capacity-building activity. Representing special needs schools, specialised STEM schools, prison facilities, and Romania's second chance education programme, these educators came together to explore a fundamental question: are we properly using technology in adult education?

The PRISCILA initiative wrapped its activities in December 2025, with the publication of the final guidelines dedicated to co-designing micro-credentials and flexible learning pathways for adults with a migrant background and to developing ALE educators’ competences in these areas.
