The project aims to strengthen the competences of specialists working in the field of culture and tourism by means of adults’ non-formal (and informal) education in Baltic and Nordic countries. A network of project partners is compound of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Sweden, as these countries have many things in common and share an experience of adults’ continuous education in different fields.

The partners will elaborate this process and seek to implement the same methods and joint methodological approach of adults’ education.
