About Athens Lifelong Learning Institute
The Athens Lifelong Learning Institute is a research and education institute, based in Athens, Greece. It has the mission to foster and enhance innovation processes mainly in the areas of education and lifelong learning, human capital development, knowledge society and social inclusion.
The Institute exhibits an active interest in a number of social issues such as social exclusion, discrimination and suppression of human rights and has attempted through the implementation of innovative learning methodologies to moderate their impact.
The Athens Lifelong Learning Institute contributes to the education ecosystem through R&D activities, creating open education programmes, collaborating and promoting collaboration with advanced scientific organisations and organising educational events. It has a long experience in the development of educational curricula and programmes that keep abreast to the new developments, social demands and European priorities and endorses a firm belief that real-world problem-based learning and innovative teaching methods inspire curiosity and improve learning ability, especially for disengaged and disconnected learners.
Our team of 15+ researchers, trainers, educators, project managers, social entrepreneurs, IT developers, graphic designers work together with the ultimate goal of human capital development and social inclusion in a local, national and European level. People working or cooperating with the Athens Lifelong Learning Institute have provided the Institute with the energy and vision to continue promoting high quality services and new ideas in the fields of vocational training, adult education and social inclusion. Our team represents a rather unique integration of multidisciplinary expertise and “innovative thinking” drawing on a comprehensive and diverse knowledge base combining research methods and their application, network development and implementation, policy analysis and valorisation of innovative practices; while, our team of volunteers provide invaluable services in fields of employment, education, mentoring and social and psychosocial support. Moreover, the Institute has a large pool of expert associate partners [researchers, adult trainers and educators] from which it regularly draws professionals to staff the lifelong learning activities and its research projects.
Achievements
Our services benefit, on average on a weekly basis, more than 200 persons (practitioners, trainers, trainees, volunteers, children and youth) and more than 200 national and transnational partner organizations.
The Athens Lifelong Learning Institute has also a substantial experience in the development, implementation and management of sophisticated national and international projects, collaborating in partnership with several organizations, such as Universities, adult education providers, civil society organisations, NGOs, European expert organizations and research institutes, both from the private and public sectors. Until today the Institute has successfully participated and/or completed the delivery of 30+ projects.
