MEDIA RELEASE. EAEA has awarded adult education projects in its annual EAEA Grundtvig Awards. This year’s award celebrated cooperations and partnerships in adult education.

Adult education is tackling many of Europe’s most pressing challenges, yet the funding allocated to adult education in the future EU budget and the name change of the EU’s education programme signal a failure to recognise its importance. EAEA calls for a higher budget share and a clear commitment to adult education to meet the EU objectives and to make an impact.
