EPALEs focus for April: Outreach and Guidance
The aim of this month’s focus is to collect and showcase good practice examples of outreach policies, projects and initiatives for enlarging participation in adult learning. As outreach alone is not enough, guidance is also a part of the process to ensure participation in lifelong learning and achieve optimal results in the process. A thematic page on this topic has been created by EPALE where everyone is able to share their best practices.
The thematic page can be found here. Happy sharing!
