Lifelong learning is something that everyone engages in, and most educationalists have a view as to what it is. This is an opportunity to see whether your version coincides with the presented definition.
You will look at lifelong learning in the here and now, and in terms of what educational opportunities could be available in the future. The environments in which lifelong learning might be located are also considered.
This pathway will challenge your thoughts, beliefs, views and practices on education and the learning process.
