What will you learn at the EPALE stand?

I will explain how the EPALE platform can be a practical tool for people involved active in culture, education and accessibility, also in terms of film education, cinemas, distribution and film-related undertakings.

At the meeting:

I will show how to use EPALE as a source of inspiration, knowledge and good practices in adult education, also where it applies to cultural accessibility,

I will advise on how to find partners for international cooperation and initiate educational or cultural projects,

I will show you where to find materials, articles and examples of activities that can be adapted for educational and animation work,

I will help you better understand how EPALE supports the Erasmus+ programme and offers guidance to European funding mechanisms for educational projects,

I will answer questions about how to join the European community of practitioners and benefit from its potential.

EPALE is a free European Commission platform dedicated to adult education, which can support the development of competencies, cooperation and exchange of experience—also in projects at the intersection of education, culture and accessibility.
