AbstractThe article discusses the analysis of the available resources in the Pro Educatione Network of Adult Education and Training. The study unveils the provided human resources, economic potential, organizational capacities and relationships as well as the surplus by the network of the 15 adult education organizations. The results show that networking brings access to different resources for network members. Half of the network member organizations affirm intense relationships, i.e. they often call for the collaboration of network member organizations for their adult education and training programmes, and significant co-creation activities are taking place. Despite the fact that several network member organizations have limited resources for the operation of adult education, they achieve significant efficiency; in other words, they can reach out to a considerable number of adult learners through their education and training programmes. The analysis identified passive, moderately active, and very active network members. It also identified areas with deficits in networking.

In the increasingly competitive and fast-changing business environment, innovation is a growing necessity. Organisations are seeking to leverage design as one way to deliver more value to their customers, although the use of design to innovate is still an emerging practice. Individual capability underpins organisational adoption of design and as such the role (education and training) of this individual is currently under investigation – coined the ‘design innovation catalyst’. This paper describes a series of design interventions in a case study of a cohort of fifteen participants in an Australian industrial sector, which aimed to provide the foundation to educate participants about the role of design innovation catalysts. Based on this case study this paper makes a series of observations and reflections on the experience of these design innovation catalysts, which form the basis for recommendations to improve the effectiveness of future programs.

Digitalization has transformed all aspects of life, from social interactions to the working environment and education, something that accelerated with the emergence of COVID-19. The same stands for education and training activities, where the use of digital tools has been gradually advancing and become merely online because of the virus. This brought forth the need to discuss further the applications, benefits, and challenges of digital tools within the framework of the education and training process, and the need to study examples of successful applications. This study aims to support both these requirements by presenting the case study of REFUGEEClassAssistance4Teachers project and its outcomes.
