On 18 February 2026, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), together with Huawei, associate member of the Global Alliance for Literacy (GAL), will unveil a new global, multi-lingual course designed to strengthen the digital skills of literacy educators worldwide.

Literacy educators are at the heart of inclusive, equitable and high‑quality education. Their work empowers learners, supports communities and drives social transformation. Yet, despite their vital role, many continue to face persistent challenges: limited access to professional development, precarious working conditions, and insufficient policy recognition. The rapid pace of digital change and the COVID‑19 pandemic have intensified these pressures, underscoring the urgent need for digital, learner‑centred approaches to adult learning and education. In low-resource, remote or crisis‑affected settings, educators often lack continuous training opportunities, digital tools and strong professional support networks – barriers that hinder their ability to meet the evolving needs of their learners.

To help bridge these gaps, UIL, with the support of GAL and Huawei, has developed a free, open-access, multilingual course - available in English, French, Arabic and Spanish - and hosted on the UIL Learning Hub.

Grounded in UNESCO’s Recommendation on Adult Learning and Education (RALE), the Marrakech Framework for Action and the Digital Empowerment for Lifelong Learning and Transformative Andragogy (DELTA) framework, this new course offers a flexible learning pathway to advance the professionalisation of literacy educators and enhance the quality of literacy provision globally. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate supporting their ongoing professional growth and recognition.

The global launch webinar will officially introduce the new course, explore the evolving role of literacy educators in digitally transforming learning environments, and highlight regional perspectives on capacity‑building priorities. It will also encourage governments, civil society organisations and regional networks to champion the use and contextual adaptation of the course.

'Launch of the Greening Communities Guidance: Lifelong Learning for Climate and Sustainability Action'

Greening communities starts with learning!

By 2050, nearly 70% of the world’s population will live in urban areas, many already facing climate threats like extreme heat, flooding, and storms. Rural communities are also on the front lines, dealing with disrupted seasons and damaged ecosystems. The goodnews? Lifelong learning can empower communities everywhere to take climate action and build resilience.

Join us on 14 November 2025 for the launch of the Greening Communities Guidance publication, created by UIL and the World Organization of the Scout Movement under the Greening Education Partnership.

Discover core principles for green communities, minimum requirements and practical steps, tools and resources to turn learning into action.

TVET Teachers and Lifelong Learning

Teachers are at the heart of lifelong learning systems. They not only enable individuals to reach their full potential, but also adapt to the rapid transformations of society, economies and labour markets. For Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) teachers, this role is especially critical: by becoming lifelong learners and fostering lifelong learning capabilities, they prepare young people and adults alike to thrive in dynamic workplaces and to contribute to inclusive and sustainable societies.

To explore how policies and practices can support TVET teachers as both learners and facilitators of lifelong learning, join UIL and Shanghai Normal University for a webinar under the joint research project 'Teachers as Lifelong Learners'.

The International Review of Education: 70 years of research in lifelong learning

IRE’s mission to foster understanding and cooperation in the field of education is more relevant than ever. It aims to publish the best new scholarship from around the world, while also influencing the development of policy and practice in the field of lifelong learning through evidence-based research.
