We are the voice of non-formal adult education in Europe

Education is a fundamental right. But for people living in prisons, detention centres, and other closed environments, that right often remains out of reach. At the EAEA Annual Conference in Warsaw, a workshop brought together adult education practitioners to explore what it takes to make education (including digital education) a reality behind closed doors and how ALE can contribute actively to systemic change.

While the benefits of emerging technologies in adult education have already been recognised, educators still lack support to effectively integrate them in (non-)formal education contexts. Within the ETHLAE project, we have made a toolbox consisting of five learning areas with each two learning scenarios available to help educators in providing learner-centred support to adults in vulnerable situations.

EAEA welcomed eight new members at the General Assembly on the 9th of June in Warsaw, Poland. The new members come from Kosovo, Ukraine, Malta, Ireland, Portugal, and Bulgaria.
