I’d like to inform you that I’ve been appointed as EPALE Ambassador for Sicily. Briefly, there were 252 candidates and 52 ambassadors chosen covering all the Italian regions (except Valle D’Aosta region). On 8th May there will be a ceremony in Florence to officially nominate the new ambassadors in occasion of the Europe festival to celebrate 30 years for Erasmus+.

Here is some more information about the EPALE Ambassador program in Italy [translated from Italian]:

Adult Education, here are the new 52 EPAL Ambassadors!

The selection of experts to support EPALE activities in Italy has been completed. After having formed a first group of Ambassadors at the official launch of the project, the National Unity has reopened the selection to extend its involvement to education and training professionals in all Italian regions , with the further aim of drawing on a wider range of skills for carrying out the activities envisaged.

There were 247 applications received and selection of profiles considered more appropriate according to the criteria set out in the notice . In addition to the experience gained and knowledge of the various aspects of lifelong learning, we have evaluated the concrete contribution that the selected candidates will be able to provide in their specific field. Particular attention has therefore been given to the motivation to carry out consultative, practical and organizational support in the area, to disseminate and strengthen the networking work that EPALE is building at national level.

The selection has led to the identification of 52 EPALE Ambassadors in almost all regions, with the exception of Valle d'Aosta. The collaboration will be officially launched with the nomination ceremony to be held during the Festival of Europe on May 8, 2017.

Below is the result of the selection. The section dedicated to EPAL Ambassadors on the Erasmus + site will also be updated as soon as possible.

-> Here is the list of the 52 new EPALE Ambassadors 2017!
