The purpose of this paper is to provide recommendations supported by our members, based on their work in formal, non-formal and informal education, to expand GCE at national and European level. Considering how GCE is linked many times with formal education, the recommendations reveal the work of our members outside of this, building upon the need for a multi-stakeholder approach that spans across the entire learning process. This policy paper guides SOLIDAR Foundation’s work in influencing developments related to the EU’s Updated Skills Agenda, European Education Area, Action Plan for the Implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the European Green Deal, given how all provide an opportunity for GCE to be embraced as a necessity rather than an added-value.
