The objectives of NVL strive towards promoting
lifelong learning by focusing on cross-sectoral cooperation in the priority areas defined by the Nordic
Council of Ministers.
NVL transmits competence and experiences between
the five Nordic countries and the three autonomous
areas. The task of the network is to deepen Nordic competence, and its effects can be extended to the Baltic
region, northwest Russia and the rest of Europe.
In the Nordic region, a unique co-operation across
national borders exists in many different fields. Cooperation in the adult education sector takes place
under the auspices of NVL. One of the main tasks of
NVL is to spread information about this co-operation.

NVL networks
and reports
informs
nvl disseminates information about the experiences and results gained through Nordic co-operation on adult learning, primarily at the Nordic and
European levels. Information activities are administered primarily via the portal www.nordvux.net.
NVL’s internal networks participate in information
activities by carrying out surveys, investigations,
comparative studies and analyses.
Expert networks have been set up based on the
Nordic priority areas and have been commissioned
to produce reports on various themes. The expert
networks’ duties include tasks related to competence-building and policy-forming.
Thematic/professional networks are formed on
the basis of initiatives from sectors within adult
learning, or based on a topical theme from a Nordic
country that is of pan-Nordic interest. NVL’s task is
to extend the networks to cover the whole Nordic
region and to formulate a clearer Nordic profile
for them. These networks, too, spread information
about their activities through articles and reports.
Reports by NVL are available free of charge at
www.nordvux.net.
