Making your voice heard: foundations of advocacy in adult learning and education


What are the steps to good advocacy? How can you map and engage relevant stakeholders? Once you have secured an appointment with someone you have been trying to reach for months, how do you make the best out of a short meeting?


Over the course of five weeks, EAEA will introduce its members to key issues in advocacy through a series of webinars with experts in the field.


Join us every Tuesday at 11:00 am CEST from 13 October until 10 November.
