ABOUT SIAE
Welcome to the website of the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education (SIAE).
Since its foundation in 1991, the Institute takes the leading role in research and development, education and guidance as well as information and promotional work in this field.
In cooperation with and in support to networks comprising of about 300 adult education public and private institutions as well as NGOs, SIAE has been working on the development of non-formal education and learning, adult literacy programmes and access to education and learning for marginalised target groups, adult education information and guidance, quality in adult education, training and professional development of adult educators, promotion of lifelong learning (Lifelong Learning Week) and many other areas.
The Institute provides professional support to the Ministry of Education and Sport regarding the development of the adult education system and carries out or takes part in domestic and international research projects.
Outcomes and experiences stemming from the Institute’s activities are subject to examination and mutual exchange in meetings with domestic and foreign experts with the aim to enrich each other and contribute to the development of their professional field as well as their wider social environment.
