Thousands of people working in adult education will be able to access news and events, and network with colleagues across Europe, as the European Commission unveils the latest version of its community-directed adult learning site, EPALE.

The second version of the adult learning community platform EPALE (the Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe) has gone live today in English, with several important new developments, including an events calendar and a newsroom feature.

The present publication is one of the outcomes of the OBSERVAL-NET project (follow-up of the OBSERVAL project). The main aim of OBSERVAL-NET was to set up a stakeholder-centric network of organisations supporting the validation of non-formal and informal learning in Europe based on the formation of national working groups in the 8 participating countries of the project. Each national working group worked towards bringing together key stakeholders in VNIL and political decision-makers at national level in order to coordinate policy implementation in the field.
