Successful Piloting of the RALExILA Project: “National Registries of Adult Learning and Education to Support the Deployment of Individual Learning Accounts” in Cyprus

The piloting event of the EU co-financed project RALExILA – National Registries of Adult Learning and Education to Support the Deployment of Individual Learning Accounts successfully took place on Friday, 20 June 2025, at CARDET’s Education Hub in Nicosia.

The initiative, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, focuses on enhancing adult learning systems across Europe by establishing comprehensive National Adult Learning and Education (ALE) Registries and promoting the implementation of Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs). The piloting session in Cyprus marked a crucial step in testing and refining the models developed under the RALExILA framework.

Participants representing a range of stakeholders – from education professionals and policy advisors to digital system developers and quality assurance experts – engaged in an interactive agenda that included:

• A presentation of the current landscape of adult learning registries and ILAs across Europe
• An introduction to the RALExILA conceptual model
• Discussions on challenges, stakeholder needs, quality assurance mechanisms, and system governance
• Reflection on user experience and insights into improving the feasibility, accessibility, and usability of the system

Through their contributions, participants supported the development of a proof of concept and provided valuable feedback for the finalisation of the forthcoming Handbook for National Registries for ALE.

The event concluded with a reflective session and a light networking lunch, reinforcing the commitment of all involved to strengthen adult learning infrastructures across Europe.
