In the context of an ageing society young and old are more and more faced with new learning needs of older adults and vice versa. Older adults- even if they are not willing to learn-are forced to cope with the changes of modern life to keep social contacts. It brings chances and challenges, but also risks and threats for young and old. This unique situation in history of mankind requires learning process focused on ageing as well as focus on intergenerational links. This is a complete new challenge to adult educators, teachers, trainers, facilitators, as well as to learners and students from all ages. Special competencies are therefore needed.  

Deadline for applications to the National Agencies is 31 January 2009.

Knowledge Mobilization

Making what we know ready for service and action is a complex process.  We often have an overwhelming quantity of data and information with little meaning. Creating coherence and understanding is exciting, rewarding, and motivating.  It is also one of the most important things we can do in our knowledge-based society.

Rationale

As reported by the BeFlex report, the development of ULLL is slow: even if 56% of universities have a LLL policy or strategy, the implementation and the practice are complex and diverse.
