Adult education often neglects the integration of disadvantaged people: EQUAL SPACE, a partnership between adult education and research organizations from Austria, Bulgaria, France and Portugal, is facing this challenge: Community Education Facilitators (CEF) will be trained in intersection of gender and cultural diversity in order to enable educational disadvantaged migrant and minorities women to find an access to lifelong learning and adult education.
