The FALCON project aimed specifically at the organisation of a conference on the theme of family learning. The resulting event took place in Oslo in September 2005 and covered a range of topics such as didactical approaches to family learning, quality criteria, cultural adaptation and learning infrastructure. An additional goal for the FALCON project was to establish a European platform for family learning, bringing together good or interesting practice in the field and providing a forum for continued discussion and debate. In terms of wider impact, the FALCON conference actively involved a broad range of stakeholders, including at policy level, with a focus upon confirming national and European level support for this important area of learning. FALCON partners continue to work together and actively participate in the recently-launched European Basic Skills Network.
