Non-formal adult education promotes social cohesion, and it equips adults with the skills, knowledge and competences needed in our society. Yet only a crumb of public funding is allocated to the education of adults.

Everyone working in adult learning will have an answer to this question: because it promotes skills and competences in a wide range of fields, particularly of those furthest away from learning.

The LSE project partners have revealed the definition of “life skills” that they have been working on in the last year. The definition is the final result of an inspiring research process.

This spring marks a momentum for awareness raising about non-formal adult education and for increasing European funding for this sector.

The financing of adult education has a variety of dimensions: from the fragmented nature of the funding to a learner’s and organisation’s perspective to the key challenges at the policy-making level.

The Lifelong Learning Interest Group, composed of Members of the European Parliament and representatives of civil society, met on 24 January 2018.

EAEA is deeply concerned about the presentation of the results for adult education in the Erasmus+ mid-term evaluation.

This year’s EAEA Grundtvig Award 2018 celebrates cooperations and partnerships.
