EPALE (the Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe) is a multilingual, open membership community of adult learning professionals. Serving as the hub for news, events and discussion on adult learning across Europe. It is an initiative of Erasmus+, the EU’s funding programme for education, training, youth, and sport which offers a variety of opportunities for Irish civil society organisations.
In 2025, EPALE’s thematic focus is Basic Skills, a critical priority for fostering social inclusion and strengthening Europe’s labour market. Basic skills initiatives address on skills, employment, and adult learning, with the aim of making education more accessible for vulnerable groups and to ensure that adults facing basic skills challenges are not left behind.
This in-person event will feature an overview of Erasmus+ funding opportunities for basic skills projects, case studies of successful initiatives, and insights on EPALE supports for Erasmus+ projects. You’ll also have the chance to take part in discussions and networking sessions with peers and funding experts, leaving with practical tools, ideas, and connections to help advance your work.
