What is ALE4TT?
Multiple global and European policy agendas recognise the challenges of the digital transition and the green transition, from Agenda 2030 to the European Green Deal. Increasingly, the green and digital transitions are no longer considered separately, but as a twin transition.
The twin transition assumes that the green and digital transitions are mutually dependent. Digital skills are essential for learning about climate change, participating in solutions or finding climate-friendly alternatives. Green and digital transitions are also connected, as large amounts of data are energy-intensive.
The Adult Learning and Education for the Twin Transition (ALE4TT) project ran from September 2023 to August 2025. The project was co-funded through a grant from Movetia, the Swiss education and exchange agency. ALE4TT aimed to support ALE organisations in better communicating, advocating and developing strategies to convince third parties such as policymakers because ALE has a crucial role to play in a just transition process. It will also support them in building a wider network with diverse allies from the broader digital and green community.
This ALE4TT Training programme results from two rounds of training conducted in Belgrade (May 2024) and Brussels (May 2025), with a total of 34 participants. With highly positive feedback for both trainings, the partners integrated the comments and feedback of participants to provide the following training programme guide.
Background
The Adult Learning and Education for the Twin Transition (ALE4TT) project ran from September 2023 to August 2025. The project was co-funded through a grant from Movetia, the Swiss education and exchange agency. ALE4TT aimed to support ALE organisations in better communicating, advocating and developing strategies to convince third parties such as policymakers because ALE has a crucial role to play in a just transition process. It will also support them in building a wider network with diverse allies from the broader digital and green community. One of the main outputs of the project is an international training programme on ALE and the twin transition, co-created with participants from ALE organisations.
Hear from the learners
This ALE4TT Training programme results from two rounds of training conducted in Belgrade (May 2024) and Brussels (May 2025), with a total of 34 participants. With highly positive feedback for both trainings, the partners integrated the comments and feedback of participants to provide the following training programme guide. We also ensured to co-create the content during the training with the learners, asking them to set expectations, share their input and regularly guide the direction of the course. Following the training in May 2025 in Brussels, four learners and educators shared their experience of the course and what they learnt:

The ALE4TT Training Programme was written by the ALE4TT project partners, feeding in input from the ALE adult educators from 15 countries.
ALE4TT aimed to support ALE organisations in better communicating, advocating, and developing strategies to convince third parties, such as policymakers, of the crucial role adult education plays in the just transition process. It also aimed to support them in building a wider network with diverse allies from the broader digital and green community.
Toolkit of resources for adult educators getting started, or going further with their work on advocating for the twin transition
This toolkit is designed to be explored by ALE practitioners who are facilitators or learners about the twin transition, or who are interested in being able to facilitate more about it. It includes methodologies, strategies, teaching and learning material and case studies to discover!

Policy Recommendations
One of the project’s outputs is Recommendation sets for adult education institutions, researchers, and those engaging with policymakers. The Recommendations consist of a summary for each recommendation set. If you are interested in learning more, each recommendation set is described in more depth after the summary, providing examples, best practices, and resources for further exploration.
These are recommendations for advocacy for the twin transition, co-created with learners. They were developed through discussions during the international training in Belgrade and later refined and reviewed during the follow-up training in Brussels.
The ALE4TT project is a collaboration of three organisations dedicated to supporting adult education and learning.
The consortium includes:
Swiss Federation for Adult Learning (project coordinator)
European Association for the Education of Adults
International Council for Adult Education.
