[GEN Europe Projects] Adult education program: Open sessions

[Efstathia Sideris]

Dear Fanny,

Thank you so much for sharing this invitation and for the important work you’re doing to make the Adult Education Erasmus+ program more accessible to the ecovillage network.

We’re happy to let you know that we plan to attend the whole 3-part info series. The sessions look very relevant and well-structured, and we’re looking forward to deepening our understanding of the program and exploring how we can take part both by sending learners abroad and potentially including our own courses in the framework.

Thanks again for your efforts in coordinating this!

In community,
