The main objective of this learning partnership is to improve the quality of adult education and to strengthen European cooperation between adult education providers.

Objectives:
- to research, analyse and evaluate the existing situation in using social media in adult education
- to jointly develop and test a social media-based teaching concept
- to collect best examples of using social media in adult education.
Types of activities:
- research (see reasearch results),
- development and testing of teaching units based on social media,
- workshops for trainers about using social media in adult education (the Moodle platform used within the workshops),
