European Year of Skills
2023 is The European Year of Skills (EYS). It is all about recognizing skills development and helping people gain skills for employment, enrichment, and enjoyment. To celebrate the EYS, Léargas have focused on capturing impact stories, and showcasing how EU programmes promote a life-long learning mindset. Some stories were shared at our annual flagship event, The Gathering; others you can hear by watching our Skills for Life video. We've also launched an exciting Skills for Life competition (open until August 2023). Visit our News section for all the details!
