European Adult Education and Lifelong Learning – Introduction for younger staff as part of 4th Lifelong Learning Week
Since 2011, European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA) has organised an annual Grundtvig In-Service Training, "European Adult Education and Lifelong Learning – Introduction for younger staff" in Brussels, Belgium.
The methodology of the trainings is mixed: part of the seminar, the participants will work self-directed, parts will consist of study visits, there will be discussions and working groups, participants will meet with representatives of European institutions, which will give them the opportunity to discuss developments with them, the training is also a launching pad for further training activities and networking and the feedback of participants about their needs and interests will be a crucial part of the training.
As an outcome of past trainings, EAEA Younger Staff Network has been established. It will be extended in order to continue to be updated about European developments and form a group of young experts for EAEA but also their own organisations to tap into.
