The Athens Lifelong Learning Institute is founded on the belief that learning and education can transform lives, communities and institutions. This belief underpins the Institute’s social-innovation approach, which convenes public authorities, universities, research centres, civil society and practitioners in co-production cycles that turn field evidence into practical tools, services, and policy.

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.
