The EPALE Community Storybook 2020 features 114 inspirational stories from the pandemic: an impressive fresco of these challenging times, from the perspective of passionate adult educators.

EPALE is a European, multilingual, open membership community of adult learning professionals, including adult educators and trainers, guidance and support staff, researchers and academics, and policymakers.

EPALE wanted to support adult educators and enable the community to connect, share and inspire each other through a brand-new initiative: the Community Stories. From the start, the initiative’s goals have been to fully engage our community in telling their stories, overcome the sense of isolation, and share the issues that were affecting their everyday life and that were challenging their education activities.

EPALE received dozens of stories in a short space of time. The EPALE community rallied to face the challenge and share their stories, to support their colleagues and enhance the value and innovativeness of adult education.

These 114 inspirational stories from the pandemic represent an impressive fresco of these challenging times, from the perspective of passionate adult educators.

To facilitate reading, we have divided them into four main categories:

  • Social Inclusion
  • Basic Skills
  • Culture
  • Work Skills.

Each category includes an impressive variety of experiences, perspectives, and shades from around Europe.

The EPALE Community Storybook 2020 is out now.
