Not everyone has equal access to adult education – a key factor that is affecting participation rates across Europe.
The AEMA Network, consisting of 12 organisations from 11 European countries, aims to change this, by developing a shared network and quality framework on accessibility issues in adult education provision. The network, funded with support from the Grundtvig programme of the European Commission, will reach out to people with disabilities, accessibility experts, disability organisations, Governmental organisations, funding bodies and Adult Education providers, with the overall aim of increasing the accessibility, participation, transparency and quality of Adult Education in Europe. The network will provide further visibility to accessibility practices by awarding Accessibility Quality Badges for Adult Education Providers and Accessibility Competency Badges for experts on Accessibility.
Our objectives:
- Contribute to an increased participation rate of people with disabilities in Adult Education.
- Increase the number of Adult Education providers who publicly commit to improve accessibility in their own organisations.
- Achieve transparency and a shared understanding of what is quality in Adult Education.
- Communicate news and results related to the AEMA Network, and spread the word of good practice in Adult Education
- Develop sustainable networks (both national and European) based on a shared commitment to move the accessibility agenda forward.
