Dear EPALE colleagues,
On 16 November EPALE celebrated International Tolerance Day. We had a special focus on the important role of adult education in fostering cultural awareness, tolerance and helping integration. EPALE’s national teams joined forces to publish relevant materials on the topic. Click here to read interesting articles and case studies, and find useful resources.
Take part in EPALE’s MOOC survey! In our recent online user survey, users noted that they would like EPALE to provide more training opportunities. With this in mind EPALE is considering the possibility of hosting Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). We would appreciate your feedback on this potential future EPALE development and would like to ask you to answer a few simple questions which will take no longer than 5 minutes.
