We stand firmly in solidarity with the people of Ukraine
We stand firmly in solidarity with the people of Ukraine today. EAEA has advocated for non-formal adult learning and education to promote peace, democracy and solidarity since 1953. Adult education is transformative and connective for individuals, communities and society. Our values are democracy, mutual understanding and tolerance, respect for human rights and transnational and intercultural dialogue.
By bringing people together, adult education has been instrumental to foster equity, cooperation and resilient communities. Violence and war have no place in Europe: generations of Europeans, including adult learners and educators, have devoted their lives to building peace and solidarity. We cannot let anyone take away the foundations of our democratic societies.
