Enhance Aontas – Amplifying Adult Learners Voices

Putting Learner Voices at the Heart of Education

Join the movement that’s empowering learners to shape their own educational journeys, making learning more engaging, relevant, and transformative for all.

What is Learner Voice?

Learner Voice is a fundamental concept in adult education, which emphasises that learning is most effective when it is a collaborative process shaped by both educators and learners.

The concept involves incorporating the perspectives, experiences, and feedback of learners into every stage of education, including the design, delivery, and evaluation.

Learner Voice is not just about listening. It is about truly valuing learners’ input and empowering them to be active rather than passive participants in their educational journey.

Benefits of Learner Voice

Empowers Learners

When learners are given a voice in their education, they gain the confidence to take ownership of their learning journey and achieve their full potential.

Improves Outcomes

Actively involving learners in shaping their education leads to better results, with learners more engaged and motivated to succeed.

Promotes Inclusion

Education that values every learner’s background and experiences creates a more inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong.

Strengthens Communities

When learners come together, share their experiences, and support one another, they build stronger, more connected communities that grow and thrive together.

Empowering Educators with Practical Tools

ENHANCE is a European Commission-funded project that brings together educators, researchers, and practitioners across Europe to develop learner-centred resources.

Our aim is to cultivate participatory learning environments where adult learners are empowered to shape their educational experience, leading to greater engagement, improved outcomes, and stronger communities.

To achieve this, we are creating practical tools and strategies that equip educators with the skills to build environments that place the voices of learners at the forefront.
