How many lives…how many worlds!

What a privilege to enter such an inspiring, experienced and qualified world of adult learning professionals from all over Europe. 86 teachers, trainers and educators from 24 different countries have enthusiastically answered the call and shared their inputs on the future of adult education and training.

This great response led to enriching the EPALE platform with many exciting insights and inspiring ideas on the future of skills and adult learning, and this ultimately led to the Storybook you are about to read.

This year’s edition of the EPALE Community Storybook unfolds through three chapters: 

  • The Now
  • Looking Ahead
  • Skills! Skills! Skills!

Each chapter collects many perspectives and considerations. The Storybook starts from today – or even a blast from the past! – and spreads over a multi-voice look into the future of adult learning.

What role will skills play in the future of adult education and training? The future looks more nuanced than ever. 

Future gazing

The last chapter unveils an incredible array of skills that will need to belong in every toolbox: empathy, active listening, adaptability, creative thinking, flexibility, and creativity along with many specific and practical skills.

So, pop down the Rabbit Hole and take a deep dive into the EPALE Community Storybook!

Jó volt visszanézni, hogy tavaly a kollégák milyen közösségi történeteket idéztek meg, Lengyelországból, Máltáról, Belgiumból… És inspirációt is jelent, és azt a tudatot, hogy egy nemzetközi közösségnek vagyunk a tagjai.

Creo que la evolución de las tecnologías nunca ha estado tan integrado en el aula,  nosotros los docentes somos los que debemos de mediar los cambios tecnológicos con nuestro alumnado, hemos pasado de escuchar la radio a integrar la nuevas nuevas tecnologías en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, produciéndose un cambio, una revolución, que a modo de símil se puede comparar con el objetivo  de Gutemberg  con la imprenta, que en en el S.XV cambió la difusión de conexión con la cultura; los docentes que impartimos  Enseñanza de Adultos debemos proyectar y difundir los avances en la aulas para que estas generaciones que se quedaron escuchando la radio queden inmersos con la tecnología que nos rodea.

Bardzo inspirujące refleksje osób pracujących w różnych rolach i zawodach z wybranych państw europejskich. Pokazanie jakich zmian potrzebujemy, czy też jakie umiejętności będą kluczowe. Oby więcej takich polemik z wyzwaniami, które stoją przed nami w tym szybko zmieniającym się świecie.
