about us
who we are
QUEST stands for Quality Education in Europe for Sustainable Social Transformation. We are an independent, democratic and participatory European network aiming to bring together NGOs, institutions, schools and universities advocating for change in education and the promotion of lifelong learning.
Together with our members, we conduct research projects, conferences, trainings, workshops, and work to have an impact on EU policies.
We aim to serve as a multiplier of best practices, actions and research.
