Elm Magazine (acronym: European Lifelong Learning Magazine) is an online publication on lifelong learning and adult education. It is the only journalism platform for adult education with a European scope and a Europe-based network of correspondents (journalists and adult education professionals). Elm Magazine is published by the Finnish Lifelong Learning Foundation - KVS.

The media organisation covers European trends in adult learning; it does not differentiate between formal or informal education, or vocational or liberal education.

Articles fall under subsections including advocacy, migration, pedagogy, and the environment. The media outlet also publishes academic articles related to adult learning.

The audience comprises academics, educators, advocates, and workers in adult education organisations.
