European Family Learning Network
The European Family Learning Network is funded by Socrates Programme under Grundtvig 4 to bring together experienced and new Family Learning Practitioners from across the EU to share good practice. Family Learning provides a strong motivational tool to address language, literacy, and numeracy needs of adults with low level skills through their wish to support their children’s development. Partners in the FL Falcon Grundtvig 4 project identified significant new development work across Europe and an absence of infrastructure for sharing European good practice, exchanging expertise, resources or information. FL practitioners are unnecessarily duplicating development work because they are working in isolation.
The project will:
Establish a European FL Network to create a mechanism for on-going exchange of expertise, good practice, news, research and developments in the field of Family Learning and facilitate discussion and shared understanding of concepts/terminology around Family Learning Policy and Practice.
Identify new priorities and raise the profile of Family Learning across Europe by consolidating informal networks, contributing to the basic skills debate, influencing policy makers, disseminating and mainstreaming FL developments.
