The XXVIII RECLA International Meeting 2023 is an international event taking place in the city of Barcelona (Spain), organized by two educational institutions: the Institute for Lifelong Learning IL3 – University of Barcelona, and the Manresa Campus (UManresa) of the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia. This meeting has focused on new trends, experiences, and training models that, through digitalization, technology, and innovation, foster higher-value learning and personal and professional development—more focused and personalized—that generates a positive impact on society.
The Network of Continuing Education of Latin America and Europe – RECLA – is a university cooperation network whose goal is to create spaces for debate and reflection on the trends, projections, and future of continuing education. It aims to strengthen the management processes of its members’ continuing education units, and to promote the design and development of cooperation programs among its members, as well as with other networks and organizations in the higher education sector.

- Learn about the trends and transformation of continuing education.
- Connect with internationally recognized experts.
- Identify resources for improving teaching and learning.
- Explore and share university experiences in continuing education.
