EPALE - Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe

Dear EPALE members,

Recently, I came across a social media campaign called Human-made. In its posts, various well-known people talk about the importance of things created by real people amid the synthetic noise of generative AI.

Dear EPALE members,

These days, we all seem to desperately long for community. I know I do. We search for spaces of belonging, mutual support and shared purpose – that proverbial village in increasingly individualised times.

Dear EPALE members,

Dear EPALE members,

I recently spoke with Professor Sari Sulkunen about how difficult it is, in many ways, to comprehensively define literacy as a basic skill – even though there is no doubt that it is a crucial foundation for lifelong learning. However, as Sulkunen pointed out, literacy is also very much an object of lifelong learning: we continuously need to develop new types of literacies in a world that constantly introduces new opportunities and demands.

Dear EPALE members,

”Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans,” goes the famous quote originally credited to writer Allen Saunders. This month, we are exploring all sorts of moments of in-between in life and learning.
