At the Network’s last conference in 2015, hosted by our colleagues at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, we discussed how substantial learning is connected with the everyday life of adults, with the environment and social milieus they live in, with their efforts to tackle social inequalities, injustices, and to enhance their quality of life and well-being.

Policy makers, stakeholders, academics and business leaders from across Europe recently attended an international conference in Bratislava, Slovakia. This conference was about the fostering and development of talent and was the key event in the field of education within the framework of the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the EU.
