Connecting lifelong learning, practical experiences and the development of competences beyond traditional classrooms.
Can travelling, exploring new places and discovering local communities become meaningful educational experiences? How can everyday activities help adults develop new skills and recognise their learning achievements?
These questions are at the heart of the Erasmus+ project “Education on the Road – Microcredentials in Adult Education”, an international initiative coordinated by FERI – Foundation for Education, Development and Innovation.
The project promotes a modern approach to adult education, combining experiential learning, mobility, environmental awareness and practical activities with innovative methods of recognising acquired competences.
Learning Beyond Traditional Classrooms
Education does not have to take place within four walls. It can happen during a journey, a nature walk, a creative workshop or an encounter with local culture and traditions.
Through the Education on the Road approach, adult learners are encouraged to become active participants in their own learning process. Observation, discovery, collaboration and reflection transform everyday experiences into opportunities for personal development.
This approach is particularly valuable for adults and seniors, offering flexible, accessible and engaging ways to develop new competences.
From Experience to Recognised Competences
One of the project’s key innovations is the development of educational pathways supported by microcredentials and digital badges.
These solutions help learners document and demonstrate the knowledge, skills and competences acquired through non-formal education.
By connecting practical learning with clear learning outcomes, the project aims to make educational achievements more visible and meaningful for participants.
International Perspectives, Shared Educational Goals
The Education on the Road partnership brings together organisations from Poland, Finland, North Macedonia and Italy.
Each partner contributes its experience and educational perspective, enriching the project with different approaches to sustainability, digital learning, cultural heritage and community engagement.
Together, we demonstrate how international cooperation can support innovative and inclusive adult education.

Travel. Discover. Experience. Learn.
Because learning can happen anywhere, and every new experience can become an opportunity to develop competences for the future.
