SMALEI Digital Academy

Sustainability Matrix for Adult Education Institutions

The SMALEI EU-funded project is launching the SMALEI Digital Academy Talks. This series of monthly webinars is designed to bring together professionals from adult learning and education (ALE) to explore, discuss, and implement effective sustainability practices across institutions. This series aims to foster collaboration and innovation among ALE providers throughout Europe.

Each webinar will highlight key areas in environmental sustainability, focusing on an all-inclusive approach. From internal green skills development to fostering sustainable partnerships, the sessions offer actionable insights and real-world examples to empower organisations to reduce their ecological footprint.

The SMALEI Digital Academy Talks provide an invaluable opportunity to connect with sustainability experts, exchange knowledge with peers, and adopt practical solutions tailored to adult education environments. Each session includes Q&A segments, fostering a dynamic space for immediate application of the insights shared.

We are launching the SMALEI Digital Academy MOOC on our e-learning platform soon, please follow this link to find out more.
