Why a global forum?
The World Forum on Lifelong Learning is organized by the World Committee for Lifelong Learning with many partners. The International Honorary Board, chaired by Paul Bellanger (Canada), Chairman of the International Council of Adult Education (ICAE) , is made up of international experts and personalities, including Jacques Delors, President of the International Commission of Unesco on educating the twenty-first century .

 
The objective of this event is to take stock of education and training throughout life, twelve years after the Delors report of April 1996  "Education, the Treasure Within", advances in the systems of education, training and learning throughout life in all its forms, as well as the innovative practices developed in all parts of the world. It will also analyze multiple effects of globalization on education and training throughout life, marry economic efficiency and social ambitions and set up common perspectives.

With whom?
The Forum will host 500 participants. It is aimed at policy makers and all stakeholders in education and training throughout working life, in all countries, to develop education, training and apprenticeships for people at all ages of life: trainers, teachers, researchers, business executives, managers and human resource managers, training managers, representatives of professional bodies, training providers, schools, universities or institutions of higher education associations

How?
The 1st Forum will take place in France, Unesco - Paris, from 28 to 29 October 2008. It will prepare the 2nd Global Forum of October 2009 which will focus on scientific research and innovative practices in education and training throughout life. Then appointments will be scheduled annually to include this thinking in the long term.
