Successful Second Partner Meeting of the RALExILA Project

From September 30th to October 2nd, Slovenia served as the meeting point for the partners of the RALExILA project. The meeting focused on enhancing systems that support adult learning across Europe, particularly by developing National Registries for Adult Learning and Education (ALE) and integrating Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs).

The meeting unfolded in two distinct phases. The first 1.5 days were dedicated to a workshop centred on defining system requirements and modeling. Project partners, stakeholders, and leading experts in adult learning from across Europe collaborated in an interactive session to outline the essential features of these systems. Employing design thinking methodologies, the workshop prioritized understanding user needs and generating innovative solutions, resulting in comprehensive and user-friendly system requirements and information models for ALE registries.

On the final day, partners discussed research from several countries on how their national ALE systems and ILAs work. The group also began drafting a guide on quality assurance and governance, which will help set strong standards for ALE systems in Europe. CARDET contributed actively by presenting research findings from Cyprus and engaging in collaborative discussions to shape the future of adult learning systems.
