While the benefits of emerging technologies in adult education have already been recognised, educators still lack support to effectively integrate them in (non-)formal education contexts. Within the ETHLAE project, we have made a toolbox consisting of five learning areas with each two learning scenarios available to help educators in providing learner-centred support to adults in vulnerable situations.

EAEA welcomed eight new members at the General Assembly on the 9th of June in Warsaw, Poland. The new members come from Kosovo, Ukraine, Malta, Ireland, Portugal, and Bulgaria.

MEDIA RELEASE. EAEA has awarded adult education projects in its 23rd annual Grundtvig Awards. This year’s award celebrated Resilience and Community-Building in adult education.

The links between sports and learning appear to positively impact personal, emotional, and social habits. While these benefits for physical and mental well-being are acknowledged, reports indicate a lack of participation from EU citizens in sports and physical activities.

Europe’s farmers are often portrayed as resistant to change. Yet across the continent, farmers are already navigating climate pressures, sustainability requirements, rising costs, labour shortages and rapid technological change. The challenge may not be a lack of willingness to learn, but whether education and training systems are designed for the realities of agricultural life.

While new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become more and more integrated in formal education settings, adult education has yet to profit properly from these technological advancements.

As civic space narrows across Europe, civil society organisations play an increasingly vital role in defending democracy and participation. EAEA urges European institutions and Member States to take action to protect civil society as a crucial democratic actor.

On May 5, EAEA, through the support of the Erasmus+ project “ENHANCE: Enhancing Learners Voices”, and MEP Cristina Guarda from the Greens, introduced Raizes Sem Terra at the European Parliament.

EAEA calls for a strong, holistic and inclusive understanding of adult learning and education to be at the heart of the next Erasmus+ programme.

Europe’s digital transition is reshaping how people work, participate in society, and access services. Yet many adults still lack the basic digital skills needed to benefit from these changes, raising urgent questions for policymakers and adult learning providers alike: how can ALE systems become more inclusive, better funded, and more responsive to learners’ realities?
