Announcing the EPALE Malta Awards 2023!
Join us in this Adult Learning and Education celebration!
The Directorate for Research, Lifelong Learning and Employability (DRLLE) acts as the National Support Service for Malta (NSS Malta), thus aims to play a key role in disseminating information about EPALE amongst Adult learning stakeholders in Malta.
In the context of the European Year of Skills 2023, EPALE aims to highlight the potential of Adult Learning and Education to engage citizens in society and democracy, empower people to successfully navigate labour market changes, and include everyone in learning.
The event
The EPALE Malta Awards 2023 will be held on the 20th of October 2023 as a livestreamed event, so all EPALE members from any country will be able to follow. The Awards are the perfect opportunity to highlight the value and spread the voice of Adult Learning and Education to a variety of audiences in Malta.
Nominations
We encourage learners, educators, public and private entities, and civil society to nominate parties engaged in adult learning in Malta: individuals that have shown dedication and commitment to improving themselves, organisations who support their communities through learning, and projects and initiatives that have demonstrated creative and inclusive learning methods to achieve outstanding results, with the potential to be replicated or be of inspiration to others.
The nomination period will run until Friday the 21st July.
