'personalisation, collaboration and informal learning will be at the core of learning in the future. The central learning paradigm is characterised by lifelong and lifewide learning and shaped by the ubiquity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)'
So says a European Commission's Foresight Report envisioning learning in 2030. The big question is how do we prepare and enable EU citizens to inhabit this future world in ways that are relevant, meaningful, interesting and fulfilling. Lifewide Education's 'Learning Lives Conference' will address this question from the perspective of UK higher education and draw attention to the significance of learning within life as well as throughout life. Its purpose is to encourage discussion about how lifewide learning, development and achievement is already being encouraged, supported and recognised by universities in the UK so that learners are better prepared for their own learning future.
