During the ABC of ALE training, participants will get to explore the concept of non-formal adult learning and education, linking it to both theory and practice. In particular, the training will focus on holistic perspectives on adult learning and education (ALE).
The training is open to professionals who are relatively new to the field (up to 5 years of experience). As it focuses on the concept and key principles of ALE, it can be relevant for professionals with different profiles: working in ALE provision, project management, policy, or communication.
Please note that all EAEA training programmes are interactive; fluency in English is highly recommended. Participants who do not feel comfortable speaking English are encouraged to get in touch with EAEA staff before confirming their participation.
We kindly ask you to note that the programme below might be subject to minor changes.
Please register by the 1st of September. EAEA will evaluate the registrations on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to sign up early.
We will issue the Europass Mobility Document upon request.
