Hvert er hlutverk ESB í fullorðinsfræðslu?
Hvernig styrkir Evrópusambandið fólk og verkefni í fullorðinsfræðslu?
Evrópusambandið styður við fullorðinsfræðslu í Evrópu á margvíslegan hátt - frá því að láta vinna rannsóknir og deila góðum starfsháttum til þess að stuðla að nýjungum og fjármagna endurmenntun einstaklinga.
To help build a more robust and effective adult learning sector, the European Commission is investing in EPALE – an electronic platform for adult learning professionals: teachers, policy makers, researchers, academics, training providers – anyone working in the adult learning sector.
EPALE aims to bring all these people together and build a vibrant adult learning community.
Widely recognised as the most successful EU programme, Erasmus+ has around 5% of its total budget available to support:
- Learning mobility for adult education staff;
- International cooperation between organisations (e.g. adult learning centres);
- Initiatives for policy innovation (e.g. networks supporting specific policy areas, like literacy a nd adult learning).
What is the EU’s role in adult learning?
In the timeline below you can see how the EU has promoted adult learning over the years. The timeline includes highlights, such as important policy publications and initiatives.

Member States outlined their measures to implement Upskilling Pathways.
On 19 December the Council adopts the recommendation Upskilling Pathways - New opportunities for adults. This aims to help Europe's 64 million adults who do not yet have an upper secondary qualification to acquire a minimum level of literacy, numeracy and digital skills and then progress towards an upper or lower secondary qualification.
The New Skills Agenda for Europe proposes that Member States adopt a Skills Guarantee to raise the level of adult basic skills.
The 2015-2020 priorities for EAAL are set:
- ensuring the coherence of adult learning with other policy areas
- increasing the supply and take-up of adult learning provision
- widening access through workplace-based learning, ICT and second-chance opportunities
- improving quality assurance, including initial and continuing education of adult educators.
The Council publishes a resolution on a renewed European Agenda on Adult Learning (EAAL), consolidating policy in the field of adult learning. This is the EU reference text on adult learning policy.
The Commission publishes the communication It is always a good time to learn. It includes an Action Plan on Adult Learning (2008-2010) that provides, for the first time, common priorities to be encouraged in the adult learning sector.
The Commission publishes the communication It is never too late to learn highlighting the essential contribution of adult learning to employability and mobility and to social inclusion.
The Council of the European Union publishes its Resolution on Lifelong Learning, highlighting the ‘cradle-to-grave’ principle of education and its provision in different environments.
