What happens when adult educators share their experiences? A collection emerges that connects communities across Europe and opens up space for inspiration. The EPALE community has once again demonstrated the far-reaching value of knowledge sharing and collaborative work. The publication Growing Together presents stories of learning, cooperation and personal growth, including a contribution from Slovenia that highlights how the EPALE platform can empower and create new opportunities. The Slovenian story was prepared by Ana Peklenik of the SIAE.

Explore stories that show how adult education transforms lives and strengthens connections between people. The collection also invites reflection on key questions: how can challenges be turned into opportunities, and how do practical experiences shape more inclusive learning pathways?

Download the Growing Together: The 2025 EPALE Community Storybook and discover the stories.

What is highlighted as the most valuable aspect in the Slovenian story? The collection invites you to reflect: how would you tell your own story of shared learning? What would you consider the greatest value that EPALE has brought you?
