| 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. |
