3 Promote dialogue and exchange between policy-makers, civil society and other LLL stakeholders, through a dedicated working group at the EU level
4 Increase EAEA expertise and multi-stakeholder cooperation on key strategic issues, such as microcredentials and Individual Learning Accounts
5 Raise awareness of European policy developments in ALE among EAEA's members, policy-makers, other stakeholders, and the wider ALE community
6 Work on a number of issues where ALE plays a role, especially funding of ALE, quality in ALE (incl. professionalisation of ALE educators), and participation in ALE, with a view to create a consolidated EAEA position
7 Connect the regional, national and EU level of ALE policy with the global level
8 Contribute to the European Elections 2024 with policy input on ALE
9 Develop an updated Manifesto for Adult Learning in the 21st Century as a key publication on themes and priorities in European ALE

EAEA’s visibility to ALE stakeholders and the wider ALE community is greatly enhanced through the implementation of continuously developing communication and information strategy that includes targeted communication channels for active online engagement, increasing social media reach, EAEA's podcast Beyond Learning, several thematic Mailing Lists, EAEA's active contribution to the European Commission's EPALE and the Elm Magazine. EAEA will also participate in a number of bi- and multi-lateral meetings with EU policy-makers from the European Parliament, European Commission, European Council, and other EU and European institutions that EAEA is regularly in contact with. Furthermore, EAEA will organise policy events on transformative learning and its role in EU policy development and ALE and gender equality policy initiatives. Moreover, EAEA will work on a campaign around participation in the EU elections.

EAEA, together with Lifelong Learning Platform, has created an Interest Group for Lifelong Learning with a number of MEPs. More information can be found at http://www.lll-interestgroup.eu/
