Welcome to Europe Net 2

Europe Net 2 is a partnership of adult learning institutions in the UK, Sweden, Spain and Poland. Our 2 year project from August 2009 continues a well-established European Learning Partnership. The partnership fosters cooperation and joint learning between adult and community learning organizations, teaching staff and learners themselves. The project partners include Osrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli (In-Service Teachers’ Development Service) from Poland.

The Project aims to engage and empower adult learners to identify and express the ways they prefer to learn and be assessed, and to contribute to the design and delivery of their courses. We hope to identify ways of engaging with, and recruiting, groups of learners who are not currently well represented in adult education so that they can follow pathways through to employment. Partners share good practice, jointly develop learning and delivery solutions, and are identifying ways to empower learners and encourage active citizenship.

The project contributes to a range of priorities but has its major focus on assessment, certification, valuing learning, equal opportunities, intergenerational learning and learning in later life. 

The scope of the project therefore covers a broad remit inclusive of learner engagement, empowerment, consultation, guidance brokerage, quality and standards, and delivery of accessible learning through improvements in curriculum, pedagology, physical and virtual infrastructures.

An important aspect of the project is bringing together learners from different European Union countries to work together and learn about each other’s cultures.

Europe Net is funded through the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Programme under the Grundtvig initiative.  The Grundtvig Programme funds adult learners, staff and institutions to learn from each other and improve the quality of adult learning in the European Union.
