FINLIT Project was promoted during a session of Deva public library annual class on accounting. The class takes place in one of our library's branches - the Chinese Corner, that's the reason for the red lamps and other specific decorations on the pictures. The project's name and logo are on all the folders with materials that the students receive.

FRSI, the Polish project coordinator, is presenting a report on adult education in five countries where the Learning Circles in Libraries project is implemented: Finland, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Romania. The report contains an analysis of the state of adult education in those countries, with special emphasis on online learning. 

The proposed Learning Circle is a group of people who meet face-to-face to learn something together.
