[EPALE newsletter] From Community Spaces to Shaping Europe


Dear EPALE members,

For many of us, a classroom has never been the centre of the learning universe.People have always learned in the spaces between formal structures: at work, in libraries, around kitchen tables, in communities, through conversation, experience and encounters with others.What might be changing now is our willingness to recognise these places not as the margins of education, but as part of its centre. In many of these spaces, knowledge no longer moves in only one direction, and the person who comes to learn may also be the person who has something important to teach. But meaningful learning still depends on real encounters – on being seen, listened to and taken seriously, on having the safety to make mistakes and the challenge to think differently.This issue looks at how we can make more space for these connections, from community spaces as places for belonging and democratic participation, to the skills needed in a changing world, and to the EPALE community itself, where practitioners share knowledge and learn from one another. Explore this issue, join the conversation, discover new ideas – and perhaps share what is happening in your own learning community!.Heini Huhtinen – EPALE Adult Learning Expert

EPALE Resource Kit: Where Learning Happens

Where does learning actually happen? The second EPALE Resource Kit of 2026 builds on the year’s focus on community learning environments and goes a step further. It brings together a selection of articles originally published on EPALE to present a cohesive argument: the setting in which learning takes place is never merely a backdrop; it is an integral part of the pedagogy. Starting with Eschenbacher’s thoughts on belonging and digital connection, the kit moves on to Schmidt-Lauff’s theoretical work on time and solidarity, and closes with two EPALE discussion summaries on libraries as spaces of encounter and democracy as civic practice. Rather than cataloguing good examples, the kit asks a harder question: are the spaces we are building actually designed for the people who need them most?► Download the kit!

2026 EPALE Community Conference Shaping Europe through Skills

Skills are not only an economic asset. They are the foundation of fairer societies, stronger democracies, and more resilient communities. The 2026 EPALE Community Conference takes this conviction as its starting point and builds on it across two days of conversations, exchanges and encounters. Under the title Shaping Europe through Skills, it brings together European institutions, policymakers, practitioners and the EPALE community to explore a single argument: that skills policy and social policy are not separate agendas. On 21 October, the focus falls on quality jobs and equal opportunities: competitiveness, recognition of competences, upskilling and reskilling in the age of AI. On 22 October, it shifts to what skills make possible beyond employment: civic engagement, critical thinking, and democratic participation. The Conference takes place in hybrid mode from Brussels with all plenary sessions free to watch online via EPALE, Facebook and LinkedIn.► Discover the full conference programme!

A Revamped EPALE Content Creation Form 

Publishing on EPALE just got easier. A new video tutorial is now available to help contributors navigate the revamped Content Creation Form, walking through every update step by step and explaining the differences between creation workflows for Discussions, Resources, and News or Blog Posts. Whether you are a first-time contributor or a long-standing community member, the tutorial is designed to make the process smoother, more intuitive, and less time-consuming.►Watch the tutorial!

Evaluation of Individual Learning Accounts: Have Your Say

The European Commission is evaluating Individual Learning Accounts (ILA) and has launched a 5‑minute survey to gather experiences with ILA or other publicly supported training measures. Although the survey is aimed at adult learners, educators and training providers can play a crucial role: please share the survey with your learners and networks to help ensure their experiences contribute to shaping future EU lifelong learning policies. .► Share the survey!

Meghívó – EPALE workshop: Változáskezelés – változó világ, rugalmas oktató

Tisztelt Kolléga!

Az EPALE Nemzeti Támogató Szolgálat az idei EPALE Közösségi Konferenciához csatlakozva személyes részvételű műhelymunkát szervez Változáskezelés, változó világ rugalmas oktató címmel 2026. október 20-án.

A workshop rövid pszichológiai és változáskezelési ismeretterjesztő blokkokra épül, azonban a hangsúly a résztvevők aktív munkáján lesz. Egyéni és csoportos feladatokon, közös gondolkodáson és saját tapasztalatokon keresztül vizsgáljuk meg, hogyan viszonyulunk a változáshoz, milyen beidegződések akadályozhatják az alkalmazkodást, és mi segíthet abban, hogy ne pusztán elszenvedői, hanem alakítói legyünk a változó helyzeteknek.

Időpont: 2026. október 20. 9.00-13.00

Helyszín: Nemzeti Szakképzési és Felnőttképzési Hivatal, 1065 Budapest, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út 53. Konferenciaterem

A workshopot vezeti: dr. Séllei Beatrix, pszichológus, EPALE nagykövet

A rendezvény ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött! Az eseményre itt tud regisztrálni.

Szeretettel várjuk a rendezvényen!

eucen Highlights | September 2026

Issue 09/2026 September 2026
Welcome to eucen’s monthly bulletin!  Autumn is bringing plenty of activity across the eucen community. Our improved website Members’ Room is now available, offering seven dedicated sections with information, resources and opportunities exclusively for members. We are also sharing reflections from our Policy Talks in Brussels, where experts and stakeholders explored the strategic role of University Lifelong Learning in strengthening Europe’s skills ecosystem and competitiveness. The MESHE Peer Learning Seminar brought partners together in Brussels to turn learner feedback into action and begin shaping the project’s Advocacy and Motivation Pack for Learners. Meanwhile, our latest Voices of Lifelong Learning podcast features Beate Hörr and Tamer Atabarut, sharing their perspectives on lifelong learning and the work of eucen. Our National Networks have also met to exchange experiences, discuss shared priorities and strengthen collaboration across Europe. And there is plenty to look forward to! We are getting ready for our Autumn Seminar in Barcelona on 19–20 November, and we are delighted that the programme is now available. Under the theme The Two Faces of ULLL: Employability and Social Mission in a changing Europe, we will explore different dimensions of University Lifelong Learning with some special surprises planned as we bring our 35th anniversary year to a close. Before that, on 15 October, join us for our webinar with Volonteurope, Learning Cities and the LLL ecosystems, bringing together perspectives on how universities, cities and other stakeholders can work together to build stronger lifelong learning ecosystems. We hope you enjoy catching up with the latest developments and the exciting activities coming up this autumn! If you receive this messages it is because you have registered on our website or because you have requested to receive our newsletters. We offer you a selection of acticles here that we think might be of interest to you. We hope you enjoy them.
