In September, partners of the RESCALE project gathered in Vilnius for the fourth transnational project meeting. Representatives from across Europe came together to review project progress, share experiences from national activities, and plan the next steps in supporting adult learners to develop the skills needed in a rapidly changing labour market.
Over two productive working days, the consortium focused on the implementation and evaluation of the Reskilling Labs piloted in partner countries. Participants exchanged insights on successes, challenges, and lessons learned, while exploring ways to further strengthen the effectiveness and sustainability of the developed approaches.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to advance several key project outputs, including the digital roadmap and policy recommendations aimed at supporting the future development of adult learning and reskilling systems. Particular attention was given to maximising the impact of project results and ensuring they reach relevant stakeholders, including adult education providers, policymakers, employers, and learners.
In addition, partners collaborated on dissemination and exploitation strategies designed to support the long-term use of RESCALE outcomes beyond the project’s lifetime. Through collaborative discussions, the consortium developed concrete plans for national-level dissemination activities.
The Vilnius meeting once again highlighted the value of European cooperation in addressing skills challenges and promoting lifelong learning. By bringing together diverse expertise and perspectives, the RESCALE partnership continues to develop innovative solutions that help adults adapt to changing educational and employment needs.
The consortium would like to thank the Lithuanian hosts for the excellent organisation and warm hospitality, as well as all project partners for their active participation and valuable contributions. The project now moves forward into its next phase, with a strong focus on finalising outputs and ensuring their lasting impact across Europe.
