From European insights to a Slovenian dialogue: a workshop on individual learning accounts

Within the Implementation of the European Agenda for Adult Learning (EAAL) 2026–2027, the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education (SIAE) organised a workshop in January at which the results of the European project RALExILA were presented to Slovenian adult education policymakers for the first time. The event highlighted that issues of transparency, quality and accessibility in adult education are no longer viewed solely as developmental challenges, but are increasingly recognised as an important part of systemic decision-making concerning the future of lifelong learning.

The workshop, Individual Learning Accounts (ILA) and Adult Learning and Education Registries: From Research to Systemic Solutions, took place on 21 January in Ljubljana and brought together 18 representatives of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Vocational Education and Training, the SIAE and other key institutions. The discussion focused on the potential establishment of an interconnected system of adult education registers and individual learning accounts in Slovenia.
