AI, Basic Skills and Future-Oriented Skills Development are the thematic focuses of EPALE this year. These topics will reshape ALE in Europe.

AI enables personalised learning experiences, while the provision of basic skills can enhance access to literacy and digital competencies. At the same time, future-oriented skills development prepares learners for an evolving labour market. Through blogs, podcasts, discussions and extensive resources, EPALE fosters a collaborative learning environment. Join us on this pioneering journey as we work together to revolutionise ALE and contribute to shaping a more skilled and adaptable workforce.

AI is transforming the approach to ALE by increasing access to learning. Given the scale of technology, we must ensure that it promotes inclusion rather than reinforcing existing biases. On EPALE, we will explore ways to ensure that AI-supported learning respects human dignity and fosters inclusivity. ► Browse content related to this topic!

Basic skills, such as literacy, numeracy and basic digital skills, are the keys to unlocking every individual’s full potential in the evolving digital age. This thematic focus aligns with key EU initiatives, such as Individual Learning Accounts and the Upskilling Pathways, which place basic skills at the heart of lifelong learning. ► Browse content related to this topic!

The Future-Oriented Skills Development thematic focus explores advanced skills analysis. We have access to data and invaluable human potential. To be prepared for the future, we must consider all forms of intelligence. With this focus, EPALE highlights the importance of building flexible and resilient learning systems that anticipate future jobs and their requirements. ► Browse content related to this topic!
