Community Education in the EU (KA1)
A European project focusing on the mobility of adult and community education staff and learners, giving members of the Community Education Network (CEN) the opportunity to travel to a similar organisations across Europe.
This project is funded through the New European Agenda for Adult Learning (NEAAL)
Funded by the European Union.

Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
Start date: June 2023
Duration: 15 months
Through this project, CEN members can spend a few days with another organisation elsewhere in Europe and learn about approaches to adult education, and share their knowledge and practice with the hosts too.
We are coordinating and planning each mobility. This includes arranging flights, accommodation, and the learning programme with the host organisation.
There are 12 community education organisations involved from across Ireland. This is one of the many benefits of being involved with the CEN.
This project provides excellent professional learning experiences for community education staff.
It also provides a space for adult learners to gain an understanding of adult education in Europe to work with peers in similar organisation from where they are undertaking their courses and share experiences.
The knowledge gained through participating in the projects serves to enhance our work both in Europe and at home in Ireland.
