EARLALL continues its 25th Anniversary: 25 Years of Regions Learning Together
01/09/2026
In 2026, EARLALL celebrates 25 years of cooperation, exchange and lifelong learning across Europe.
To mark this milestone, EARLALL is continuing its 25th Anniversary Campaign: “25 Years of Regions Learning Together”, a campaign celebrating the people, regions, partnerships and projects that have shaped the network over the past 25 years—and looking ahead to the future of regional cooperation in education and skills.
25 years of regions learning together
EARLALL was founded in 2001 by nine regional governments, united by a shared ambition: to strengthen the role and voice of regions in European education and training policies.
Twenty-five years later, cooperation remains at the heart of EARLALL’s work.
Throughout the anniversary campaign, we will highlight how regions, local authorities, education and training organisations and European partners have worked together to exchange practices, develop projects, strengthen skills ecosystems and contribute to lifelong learning across Europe.

Voices from the EARLALL Network
At the centre of the campaign are the voices of the EARLALL network.
Over the coming months, we will share short video testimonials from EARLALL members, associate members and partners, reflecting on their experiences with the network, the value of European cooperation and the impact of working together.

These voices represent the diversity of the EARLALL community and the many perspectives that have contributed to its development over the years.
25 Years of Impact
The campaign will also take a look back at key moments in EARLALL’s history.
Through our 25 Years of Impact series, we will revisit important milestones, projects, partnerships and developments that have contributed to the network’s journey since 2001.
Across Our Regions
EARLALL is a network of territories, and the anniversary campaign will bring those territories into the story.
Throughout the autumn, we will share videos, photographs and other visual content from our members, showcasing learning environments, projects, people, skills initiatives and activities taking place across Europe.
From regional institutions and training centres to learners and local communities, these stories will show lifelong learning in practice and in different regional contexts.
Projects and cooperation
European cooperation has always been an important part of EARLALL’s work.
The campaign will therefore also highlight projects and partnerships that demonstrate what can be achieved when regions and organisations join forces.
From exchanging practices and developing new approaches to working together on European projects, these stories illustrate how cooperation can translate into concrete opportunities and stronger regional learning and skills ecosystems.

Looking towards the next 25 years
While the anniversary provides an opportunity to look back, it is also a moment to look forward.
The challenges facing regions and communities continue to evolve. Skills needs are changing, lifelong learning is becoming increasingly important, and cooperation between regions and European partners remains essential.
