|
|
“The
concept of lifelong learning appears as one of the keys to the XXI st
century”
Jacques
Delors' report to UNESCO of the International Commission on education
for the XXIst century “Education, the treasure within” -1996- |
Within
the global context of contemporary transformations,
what kind of a future for education and training?
The
Forum aims at examining the systems of lifelong learning and training,
and at enhancing innovative practices in various parts of the world,
as the stakes of competence are central to competitive processes
between continents. Recent transformations of the actors and systems
of education and training, linked with deep cultural, economic,
political, societal and technological changes, go together with
development under all its forms, as regards either public policies and
corporate strategies, or individual and collective dynamics. Within
countless interactions, education and training are themselves in
constant change.
This
Forum is intended for actors and decision-makers from all countries
directly concerned with lifelong learning and training, to assess the
tendencies, innovating practices, paradoxes and contradictions of
formal and informal education systems in interaction with their
environments.
The
official opening of this first Forum, which has been accepted by
UNESCO as an International Thematic Meeting within the framework of
CONFINTEA VI (UNESCO’s Sixth International Conference on Adult
Education which will be hosted by Brazil in 2009), will take place on
October 28, 2008 at the Regional Council of Ile-de-France, and will be
followed by four plenary sessions on October 29, 2008 at UNESCO

Session #1
“The concept of Lifelong Learning : assessment
of the situation ”
|
| Objective of the session |
This
session will aim at assessing the situation worldwide as thoroughly as
possible. Practices are very different according to geographic areas
and social sectors. The debate will be conducted by UNESCO and OECD
representatives, and will focus on recent evolutions in lifelong
education and training: formal, informal and non-formal education from
infancy to retirement, diversity of devices, methods and means, such
as distance teaching. Due to new technological opportunities and
mobilities, this concept expands beyond frontiers, ages and places of
life in the new” learning society”.

Session #2
“Education and training : Towards a worldwide network of Regions?”
|
| Objective of the session |
The
new technologies of communications entail a modification of
territories in the fields of education and training. The local and
global spheres interact. Consequently, the pupil, the student, the
wage-earner or the citizen who logs on the Internet enters a “global
space of lifelong learning”. He or she thus participates in a wide
space of collective and collaborative intelligence. But this
globalization does not suppress the need for proximity. On the
contrary, the region seems to be the relevant perimeter for lifelong
learning policies. The experiments in decentralized co-operations have
proved to be efficient. The question of a worldwide network of regions
will be raised during this session. In
regional territories the question of new governance crops up
concerning education and training policies. Experiments in cooperation
between territories have proved to be useful and prefigure the
creation of a worldwide network.

“Lifelong learning: analysis and prospects?” |
| Objective of the session |
Traditional
education and training systems are confronted with important economic,
social and technological evolutions. They must also take the
competitive stakes of globalization into account. The session will
tackle the various educational stakes considering the needs of
sustainable development, and will study the new methods for an
equitable and efficient access to lifelong learning.
