Looking into the future

Reflections by NSS Malta

• The future of AE online content
• The future of the adult learning community
• The future of the platform itself
• How will the online landscape and content

change

• NSSs comes in to bring all of the above together.

Doing More and Better – NSS Malta

Continue building on what already works:

• Training for NSSs
• Collaboration with entities/NSSs
• Activities that work – activities that do not
• Ambassadors
• Better: More active learning on the platform such

as webinars, live discussions

Sustainability – NSS Malta

• The platform is about people,

adult learners, educator and their stories. EPALE brings these to the forefront.

• How does this impact continue?
• Understanding where we are –

developing a sustainability framework – adopting it.

What we want to do – NSS Poland

• conduct more systematic, long-term activities targeted at specific

groups – e.g., dedicated materials; regular contact; more webinars and seminars

• Adult Learning Days (spring 2019)
• engage users of EPALE and encourage activity by showing them

the benefits of publishing. Looking for a new way to encourage publishing - competitions, special workshops

1. Special workshops with professor Bralczyk About influencing the audience, the ability to recognize the recipient's situation and expectations, about the art of winning together. 2. "How to shoot training videos" It's time to catch up and learn from scratch how to do professional- looking training videos and not spend money on it. You won’t need experience, but enthusiasm for work and ... a smartphone. 3. "Drama in training” Drama uses the world of fiction and the natural ability to role- playing

promotion of the articles published on EPALE: interesting and professional, your texts could be there, too!
