Our best practices

  • Lifelong Learning Week in Slovakia
    Týždeň celoživotného učenia na Slovensku Since 2000, the idea of organizing Lifelong Learning Weeks in Slovakia aims to
    raise awareness on lifelong learning and especially adult learning. Different activities (lectures, workshops, seminars, conferences, discussions, fairs…) across the country aim to encourage everyone to actively participate in education, regardless of age, education, professional experience and focus. AIVD SR, as the coordinator of LLW with the LLW partners also takes
    opportunity to present their activities and actively discuss the state of adulteducation in Slovakia. More than 60 LLW activities took place in 22 cities in Slovakia in 2017. We were honored by active participation of the representatives of the European Association for the Education of Adults, UNESCO Lifelong Learning Institute, the European Commission DG EMPL, and
    the ministries.
  • Age Management Uptake
    AIVD SR is coordinating (2017 – 2020) KA2 Erasmus+ project on age management. We aim to improve Age Management promotion and implementation by project intellectual outputs: Scientific Review What Works in Age Management, Age Management curriculum, Course materials for blended learning, Qualification standard of Age management Advisor, Accreditation of adult education course in CEE countries, Guidelines of Age Management Curriculum Implementation for Austrian, Czech, Polish and Slovak lecturers and trainers.
