VOX (The Norwegian Agency for Lifelong Learning)

Vox is the Norwegian Agency for Lifelong Learning and belongs to the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research.

Our main goal is to contribute to supporting active citizenship, improving employability and increasing participation in education.

Vox promotes access and participation in formal, non-formal and informal adult education through research, basic skills, integration, career guidance and programmes and subsidies.

Our agency is also involved in international cooperation and we are the current national coordinator for the European Agenda for adult learning. Vox also acts as the secretariat for the national council for tertiary vocational education (Nasjonalt fagskoleråd), as well as for the Nordic Network for Adult Learning (Nordisk Nätverk för Vuxnas Lärande, NVL).
