European Basic Skills Network

Who we are
EBSN is a European network bringing together policy makers and key stakeholders to strengthen adults’ basic skills across Europe.
||
Our objective
To promote excellence in adult basic skills policy and implementation at European and national level, in a field with major implications for education, employment, social inclusion and active participation in society.
||
Why it matters
Across Europe, many adults face barriers in work, learning and everyday life because they lack essential basic skills. EBSN supports stronger cooperation, knowledge exchange and policy development to help address this challenge.
