Webinar: The UK is rejoining Erasmus+! What opportunities are there for ALE?

The United Kingdom will re-associate with the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme, as announced in April 2026. This will enable UK organisations to participate in Erasmus+ projects funded from 2027 onwards, placing them on an equal footing with organisations from the 27 EU Member States and other countries associated with the programme.

The European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA) warmly welcomes this development for the adult learning and education (ALE) sector and looks forward to seeing its members strengthen existing partnerships and establish new collaborations with organisations across the United Kingdom.

To support these opportunities for cooperation, EAEA is organising an information-sharing and matchmaking webinar. The event will feature insights from the UK National Agency and the Learning and Work Institute about UK priorities for the upcoming period in adult learning and education. 

The webinar will focus on Key Action 1 (KA1), supporting learning mobility, and Key Action 2 (KA2), supporting cooperation partnerships.

Date and Time: December 7, 11-12 CET (10-11 GMT)
