EAEA country reports survey 2022 is open

Dear Members,

Summer is finally here and will hopefully bring with it lots of health and good new ideas. For the latter, we have launched our country reports survey 2022! Deadline for answers is 2 September 2022.

The aim of the country reports is to present the state of adult learning and education (ALE) from a civil society perspective. The more we know about your country, the better we can target our advocacy work. The country report answers help us to influence the country-specific recommendations of the European Semester as well as other important policy initiatives and strategies at the European level.

Member News will take a break over the summer, you will hear from us again in a few weeks. 

Have a great summer!
