V ponedeljek in torek, 15. in 16. oktobra 2018, bo v Budimpešti potekala vseevropska EPALE konferenca, pod sloganom "Growing together: fostering an inspiring adult learning community" ("Rastemo skupaj: spodbujanje navdihujoče skupnosti za izobraževanje odraslih"). 

Na dogodku bo zbranih več kot 250 predstavnikov nacionalnih deležnikov; uporabnikov EPALE, deležnikov izobraževanja odraslih iz vse Evrope in predstavnikov Evropske komisije.

Prvi dan konference bodo imeli udeleženci možnost, da sodelujejo v interaktivnih anketah in vprašalnikih o temah, ki so vezane na področje izobraževanja odraslih, v sklopu panelnih razprav zastavijo svoje vprašanje, spoznajo predhodne uspešne projekte preko platforme EPALE hkrati pa med prvimi izvedo, kaj za področje izobraževanja odraslih prinaša novi program Erasmus+.

Drugi dan konference bo posvečen Nacionalnim podpornim službam EPALE, saj bo na voljo čas za razpravo o inovativnih idejah in podajo predlogov za razvoj platforme EPALE v naslednjih letih.
