On 29–30 September 2025, the partners of the RESCALE Project – convened in Campobasso, Italy, for the second transnational meeting hosted by Università degli Studi del Molise.

On behalf of EBSN, we are proud to highlight this remarkable European initiative, which is laying the foundation for a new model of adult upskilling and reskilling laboratories. These Reskilling Labs are being developed in the context of the green and digital (twin) transition, with a strong focus on learners with low basic skills.

Each Lab will offer:

  • Customised learning pathways
  • Assessment and coaching
  • Motivational tools for teachers and counsellors

The Labs are being piloted in 7 countries (Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, Finland, Hungary, and Croatia), soon to include Malta, via diverse local partnerships involving education providers, employers, and public employment services (PES).

During the Campobasso meeting, partners reviewed learnings of the comparative country analysis and impactful practices, finalised the European Lab learning model, and validated its readiness for national adaptation in the pilot phase. The Labs’ innovative approach to learning space design, pedagogy, and career guidance was recognised as a valuable model for broader European adult education policy.

“This is an inspiring project for those seeking new, integrated solutions for the reskilling of adults with low qualifications in a rapidly changing labour market,”

Stay tuned as the RESCALE pilots launch across Europe in the coming months—bringing innovation, inclusion, and impact to adult learning systems in support of the twin transition.
