Adult Education: Motivation in Motion: Empowering Adults to Up- and Reskilling

Summary

European policy experimentations are transnational cooperation projects that involve developing, implementing and testing the relevance, effectiveness, potential impact and scalability of activities to address policy priorities in different countries.

By combining strategic leadership, methodological soundness, and a strong European dimension, they enable mutual learning and support evidence-based policy at European level.

Detailed Call Description

This topic asks for proposals to pilot innovative approaches to stimulate adults to engage in learning activities in their usual and trusted environments, as well as providing a flexible offer that helps them overcome barriers to training such as time constraints or care duties.

This can include libraries, community, cultural, sport, health and social inclusion centres, but also the workplace and public employment services.

Partnership approaches between different kinds of organisations are often most effective.
