This time, we explored examples of innovative learning environments in Slovakia

Organizers

“The conference brought new perspectives on learning outside traditional school settings and showed that education is a lifelong process that can take place anywhere – in the workplace, in communities, in libraries or in online environments.”

EAAL forum on Innovative Learning Environments highlights a pressing theme

Dr Dr Ana Vovk

“Let go of negative thoughts or comparisons like someone else can, I can’t. That’s no longer necessary. We all can. We all have potential within us; we just need to start realising it.”

Annual EAEA members’ meeting – this time in Leipzig

Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik, MSc

“A recurring theme across all groups was the need to highlight ALE’s transformative power for individuals and society at large. In today’s world of rapid change and complex issues, learning equips us to respond effectively, both individually and collectively.”

Skills for the future – dialogues for synergy

Dr Alenka Braček Lalić, Authentic Leadership Institute

“When you do not act in line with your (authentic) values, life eventually makes you pay the price.”

Data on adult education providers and programmes matter

Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik, MSc

“The quality of any information system (IS), including the Where to Get Knowledge platform, depends on a range of factors, chief among them the reliability and timeliness of the data. In this regard, we depend greatly on the cooperation of providers, who are responsible for entering and updating their data on an annual basis.”

Developments at the European level

Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik. MSc

“I thoroughly examined the study and several documents related to current developments at the European level and contributed expert suggestions for their improvement.”

The seventh phase of the EAAL project has also yielded compelling results

Karin Nicolay

Flemish EAAL Coordinator

“These learning environments focus not just on technical proficiency but also on emotional intelligence, critical thinking and problem-solving – skills essential for thriving in complex, interconnected societies – and empower individuals to take ownership of their education and reshape their personal and professional trajectories.”

Free movement of knowledge for a better future in Europe

Zvonka Pangerc Pahernik, MSc

»We can either remain passive recipients of these anticipated changes (which will inevitably affect us, for instance, through E+ and ESF+ projects) or take a proactive stance and become the drivers of new developments. The choice is ours, and we must rise to meet these challenges.«
