Our centre forms an integral part of Finnish non-formal adult education. We offer inexpensive general interest courses on skills and knowledge that help adults cope with everyday life. Anyone can attend the courses, irrespective of their age, profession, gender or educational background. The leading concepts are lifelong learning and self-enhancement.

We have modern premises in the City Library-Adult Education Centre building at Vapaudenkatu 39–41, 40100 Jyväskylä. Courses are also held in various schools and buildings throughout Jyväskylä and the municipalities of Luhanka, Muurame and Uurainen. The education services of the city of Jyväskylä is responsible for providing non-formal adult education, too. We are among the largest adult education centres in Finland.
