Purpose and goals
The purpose of the project is to enhance access to lifelong learning for adults and increase their participation. The project is aligned with the mission of the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education, which promotes a culture of lifelong learning and supports fair, accessible, and high-quality education for all adults in Slovenia.
The project primarily targets educators and professionals engaged in the development and delivery of adult education, particularly those working with vulnerable groups. The outcomes of the project will indirectly benefit education policymakers, social partners, and other stakeholders.
