Evidence informed adult numeracy education may be the key for attaining the goals set out in the Europe 2020 strategy. In most European countries, adult numeracy education is a locally based endeavour with a plethora of practices, some efficient, some less so. Furthermore, there are a variety of underlying assumptions on what constitutes good adult numeracy education.

Der Schweizer Dachverband Lesen und Schreiben ist auf übergeordneter Ebene für die Sicherstellung und Weiterentwicklung des Qualitätssystems im Bereich Grundkompetenzen aktiv. Um schweizweit Kursangebote sicherstellen zu können, die qualitativ hochstehend, auf dem neuesten Stand und zudem auf die Bedürfnisse der Kursteilnehmenden zugeschnitten sind, sind zielgerichtete Massnahmen im Bereich Qualitätssicherung und -entwicklung von zentraler Bedeutung. Der DVLS hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die bisherigen Bemühungen in diesem Bereich weiter auszubauen und im Dialog mit Kantonen und anderen wichtigen Partnern voranzutreiben.

Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, hat der DVLS in einem ersten Schritt ein Grundlagendokument erarbeitet, welches Grundsätze für die Vermittlung und den Erwerb von Grundkompetenzen Erwachsener festhält. Es handelt sich um kontextspezifische Anforderungen im Bereich Grundkompetenzen, die als Basis für Kriterien auf Angebotsebene z.B. im Rahmen von eduQua 2021 oder ähnlicher Zertifizierungssysteme genutzt werden können. Das Dokument soll als Grundlage für einen entsprechenden Dialog mit relevanten Partnern dienen.

In einem zweiten Schritt baut der DVLS aktuell eine Fachstelle Didaktik und Digitalisierung für den Bereich Grundkompetenzen auf. Diese soll die Kursqualität und die Digitalisierung gezielt fördern und Kursanbieter und -leiter*innen in diesen Bereichen unterstützen, z.B. durch die Entwicklung von Weiterbildungsmodulen oder Beratungsdienstleistungen. Das Projekt wird gemeinsam mit dem Verband der schweizerischen Volkshochschulen umgesetzt.

Our next discussion is focusing on the role of basic skills initiatives in the future of EU reforms addressing skills. We will address the following questions that were in the centre of recent basic skills-related EU projects:

How can we call for action for basic skills development during the EU Year of Skills?

What are the main challenges and potentials in the professionalisation of basic skills trainers?

How can ongoing EU policies in adult learning (microcredentials and individual learning accounts) contribute to the professionalisation of basic skills trainers?

The Parish Church of Gyertyaszentelő Boldogasszony in the city centre of Pécs is an unequalled Ottoman monument of our country, the most important example of Turkish-Islamic architecture in Hungary. A pleasant, greenish-yellow light illuminates the church's interior through the hive patterned, arched windows.

You can admire the finely decorated mihrab (praying niche), which faces Mecca and you can also discover some calligraphic lines from the Koran scattered on the walls. Right next to the vestry, there are two vessels that had previously been used in the bath of Pasha Gazi Kassim and now serve as containers for holy water. Visitors can wander around this enchanting building where the East meets the West, this sacred place where different religions interact, by using modern equipment, exciting interactive elements and animations. Thus, in the church that is considered to be the symbol of Pécs, we can get acquainted with the history of the edifice and its changing appearance throughout the past.

EBSN Professional Development Series - an introduction on Epale

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In today's fast-paced world, the need for continuous learning among adults is more important than ever, particularly during times of crisis. This is a sentiment that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) emphasised already 50 years ago, highlighting in their report ' Recurrent Education: A Strategy for Lifelong Learning (1973)'. Today, the OECD, in collaboration with the Global Commission on the Future of Work, has found through its PIAAC survey that societies with declining literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills suffer from economic underdevelopment and social disintegration. The ILO also supports the same idea, highlighting in their report "Working for a Brighter Future" (2019) that lifelong learning is key to proactively responding to crises and building more resilient organisations.

The European Basic Skills Network (ESBN) and its are strongly concerned that basic skills development and, accordingly, professional development for basic skills teachers is a relevant response at times of crisis to enhance the skills of adults in Europe, to increase resilience and to develop essential transversal skills necessary for the workplace and community engagement.

Starting the European Year of Skills for 2023, the Professional Development Series (PDS) of EBSN has reached an advanced phase of applying MOOCs to develop the professional skills and competencies of basic skills teachers helping adult learning to improve with better performance.

The EBSN Annual Conference 2023 will be connected to quality aspects in basic skills development, with specific attention to the training of teachers and adult educators to generate further dialogue towards challenging issues of professionalisation of basic skills provision.

Policies focusing on skills, employment, and adult learning have been introduced to foster social inclusion, and labour market integrity in light of the challenges Europe faces today. Making learning more accessible to vulnerable groups and strengthening their position in the labour market are both key to a resilient Europe in the future and it is also of key importance in the light of the European Year of Skills. The European Commission is set out "to bring down barriers to learning and improve access to quality education" - as Commission President Ursula von der Leyen states. Adults with basic skills challenges are especially at risk not only in terms of participation in training programmes, but also in finding their place in the labour market.

This podcast takes a closer look at relevant EU (and non-EU) initiatives addressing social inclusion, employment, and skills to see how they can empower adults with low-, (or no) qualification. First, the latest updates on the EU approach to micro-credentials are discussed. Then, we focus on the Swiss implementation experiences on the education voucher system. Learning about how the Swiss policy addresses adult basic skills development can serve with an example for European Member States on how they can steer their efforts in implementing the individual learning accounts for the benefit of this vulnerable target group.

The moderator of the podcast is Tamás Harangozó on behalf of the European Basic Skills Network.
