LLLWeek Workshop: Citizens, Learners, Workers: Investing in the Whole Person
On 30 November, in the framework of this year's LLLWeek, SOLIDAR Foundation and FICEMEA organize a workshop titled Citizens, Learners, Workers: Investing in the Whole Person. During an exciting panel discussion the consequences of labour market-driven education policies as opposed to policymaking aimed at social inclusion and cohesion will be discussed and analyzed.
The workshop will take place at the European Parliament (room tbc) from 14h to 15h30. Interested? Don't forget to register via this form before 15 November!
The Lifelong Learning Platform is organising the 12th edition of the LLLWeek on 28 November - 2 December! This year it will be dedicated to “Investment in Education and Training: A Public Good for All”! With this year’s annual theme, LLLP wishes to address the topic of investment from the standpoint of social inclusion – specifically in relation to closing the learning gaps amplified throughout the pandemic. Funding in education, training and lifelong learning opportunities should focus specifically on fair access, vulnerable groups and inclusion in representation.
