Project event:
Who is afraid of Quality Assurance? Supporting a culture of quality in the ALE sector

For many educators and policymakers, ‘Quality Assurance’ is linked to strong bureaucratic processes and additional workload. In this event we will talk about a culture of Quality Assurance, seen as a mindful process of continuous improvements.
If you are interested to know more, join us for the online workshop ‘’ Who is afraid of Quality Assurance? Supporting a culture of quality in the ALE sector’’ on Tuesday 24 March – 10.00 AM – 12.00 PM CET
This online workshop aims to support participants in understanding the core aspects of Quality Assurance within the adult education sector, and in particular non-formal education providers and smaller providers. We will answer two main questions: what does Quality Assurance mean in non-formal ALE? What do we really need for ALE organisations to build a strong culture of Quality Assurance?
Participants will explore the Q-ALE Code of conduct and self-assessment tool (as developed in the frame of the project Q-ALE – Quality assurance in non-formal Adult Learning and Education). Participants will also be invited to provide their feedback on what can be improved and adapted further in their contexts.
The Q-ALE Code is formulated to support non-formal adult learning organisations to improve their quality assurance processes, to structure and formalise them, make them regular and coherent, and prepare the organisation to comply with current and potentially new QA standards in their countries, etc., also to respond to the current and future challenges the ALE sector is facing across Europe.

The draft Code of Conduct will be soon available for the webinar participants! Stay tuned!
