Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the implementation of the Council Resolution on a renewed European agenda for adult learning (hereafter 2011 Agenda) in the period 2012-2020 in two European Union (EU) member states: Portugal and Slovenia. Theoretically, our discussion draws on studies researching European governance in adult learning. At the same time, empirically we perform a comparative analysis between the two countries and discuss similarities and differences in terms of adult learning (AL) policy ideas, activities of national coordinators for the implementation of the 2011 Agenda, and AL related European Social Funds projects. Our findings indicate that the normative vision of 2011 Agenda is well embedded in both countries' policies, that national coordinators undertook various activities to implement 2011 Agenda, and that EU funds play a key role in funding and directing both countries' AL systems.
