LLLWeek

The LLLWeek aims to raise awareness on lifelong learning’s capacity to answer many challenges of modern societies and it has become a milestone in the European education agenda, thanks to the support of civil society actors and Members of the European Parliament.

EU Lifelong Learning Stakeholders' Forum

In 2026 the LLLWeek will see its 16th edition, running on 30 November - 4 December 2026. The LLLWeek will be inscribed in the 2026 Annual Theme "Reimagining validation and recognition: give value to all learners, learning and competences", and will address it through LLLP's 5 renewed priorities: Investment, Inclusion, Innovation, Internationalisation and Intermediaries. To ensure consistency and belonging, each day of the week will be dedicated to one of the topics and each day will have a host MEP.
