European Association of Regional and Local Authorities for Lifelong Learning (EARLALL) is a Brussels-based network of regions across Europe, aiming to contribute to EU policy-making and cooperate in projects in the field of lifelong learning. Based on the individual strengths of each region and local authority, EARLALL facilitates collaborations and partnerships throughout regions, as well as an open and rapid exchange of knowledge in a context of trust and confidence.
The network was established in 2001 under the initiative of regional governments, who were willing to build a solid cooperation in the field of lifelong learning. EARLALL believes that regions and local authorities have a privileged role in designing and implementing strategies related to it, since they are in direct contact with educational institutions, the business environment and, most notably, citizens.
