In the last decade, at least in Europe, ALE was mainly understood as a service to improve people’s potential to get work and offer them some additional possibilities for basic education. DVV International and the European Association for the Education of Adults initiated the BILDUNG project that intends to provide inspiring and forward-thinking concepts, ideas, and good practices for the ALE sector.

In order to include the indigenous languages spoken in the Mexican state of Chiapas in educational activities, DVV International initiated a bilingual indigenous education model together with Mexican government partners in 2016. The training focuses on literacy, building communicative skills, and teaching the right to lifelong learning.

In a central Malian village, the members of a REFLECT circle have not only learned to read, write and do arithmetic but have worked to keep their community together. In response to the increasing loss of agricultural land and the resulting tensions between the villagers, the circle decided to build a stone wall.

South Africa faces a youth crisis of unemployment. Unfortunately, many unemployed young people who have dropped out of school do not have the confidence to go back into a formal learning environment. This is why DVV International South Africa in collaboration with its partner is promoting non-formal education programmes that are relevant to the learning needs of youth.

In Tunisia, an increased illiteracy rate has been observed. In rural areas, the rate is especially high, as those areas are usually poorer and are characterized by a low level of education, rural migration and subsistence agriculture. DVV International Tunisia has started the programme Farmer Field School adds Literacy which minimizes the illiteracy rate, ensures food security, and improves the socio-economic integration of vulnerable populations.

Curriculum GlobALE (CG) is an output-orientated core curriculum for training adult educators worldwide. Based on how important CG can be when adapted to local contexts, it became clear that it is also an important instrument to support ALE providers in the context of the pandemic. Therefore, DVV International Palestine and its partners agreed to pilot the digital implementation of Curriculum GlobALE.
