ALADIN Online Alert 20

The ALADIN Online Alert is a joint ALADIN initiative, produced bimonthly by the UIL Library and CDÉACF, with input from additional ALADIN members from all over the world. Its goal is to share recent online and full-text information and documents in the area of adult and lifelong learning. To propose items for upcoming alerts, please contact the ALADIN coordinator Lisa Krolak. To view older ALADIN Online Alerts, please visit the ALADIN news site.

Dear ALADIN community,

In this ALADIN Online Alert, I would like to highlight three very interesting toolkits on adult learning:

  • The DIMA Toolkit for Developing Implementing and Monitoring Adult Education Strategies;
  • The FinALE Toolkit: Financing Adult Learning in Europe;
  • The Council of Europe Toolkit on Language Support for Adult Refugees.

You can also find various case studies on literacy and the European Declaration of the Right to Literacy.

I wish you enjoyable reading,
Lisa Krolak, ALADIN coordinator
