Challenging Isolation: the role of lifelong learning (York, United Kingdom)

York, United Kingdom

The Conference focuses on Challenging isolation through lifelong learning policies and practices.  Such policies and practices could be those of: national, regional or local government; specific lifelong learning or widening participation initiatives – such as Aimhigher or Lifelong Learning Networks in the UK; particular institutions, or parts of institutions such as academic/subject departments, student support services; different types of organisations including not only state-funded educational providers but also those in the voluntary sector, social enterprises and private training providers; and many other perspectives, most importantly those of the individuals and communities for whom lifelong learning has been, or could be, a route out of isolation and marginalisation.
