Now in ELM: Upskilling, inclusion and climate action

 Dear ELM readers, 
 
 We are happy to share a hand-picked selection of March highlights from ELM Magazine. Take a closer look at Alex Stevenson’s insights into the PIAAC results in England, an innovative Swedish approach to skills validation and Claudia Gillberg’s reflection on the importance of climate education.Alongside current issues in adult education, it is important to keep the discussion going on the PIAAC results published in late 2024 and what actions are needed in different countries. At the same time, even in turbulent times globally, we must not forget ecological issues and planetary well-being.We hope you find these articles engaging and inspiring.Katriina Palo-Närhinen
