The project:
RegALE aims to increase impact and sustainability of regional/local adult education (AE) organisations by setting up or reinforcing networks among them and with regional/local authorities.
The most significant project outcome
will be an increase of the partners’ capacity (and of their target
groups/members) to respond to their challenges, to build cooperation
structures, and to promote an adult education culture in cities/regions.

Background report on the challenges and opportunities of AE in cities/regions
Repository of good practices that promote a learning culture at local/regional levels
Peer learning and capacity-building activities
Peer learning webinars
Case studies to showcase the piloting experiences
Road map to develop a learning region/cities
