Vilnius Adult Education Centre (VAEC) was established in 1993. Here adult students can acquire complete or partial upper secondary education. The Centre has already done its steps in applying the non-formal principles as the method of teaching and learning which means that adult students can choose a single subject providing knowledge of a certain level and amount. There is a possibility of taking an examination after every course and getting a certificate. The students of the Centre are people over 18 years old and elderly people. At the Centre adults can meet and learn together, create networks, update existing knowledge, or acquire new skills and competencies, as well as develop socio-cultural competence through participation in EU and local projects:

• Education Exchanges Support Foundation (EESF) Grundtvig Learning Partnership since 2001
• EU Structural funds since 2009
• Nordplus since 2009
• Erasmus since 2016

Vilnius Adult Education Centre has a long and successful experience of organizing and conducting courses of the Lithuanian language (state language) for immigrants. We also have courses of the English, German and Russian language for learners of different levels of proficiency. The courses fall into the scope of non-formal education. Students also receive evaluative certificates that can be mentioned in curricula vitae as professional experience or as skills and qualifications.

Staff in VAEC is collaborating on a constant basis (solving on-going problems in the education process) and at implementing different local and international projects. Each teacher has a chance to make his/her offer, express ideas and thoughts connected to the problem at hand and in this way also strengthening the team and reinforcing the interrelatedness.
