UIL organises policy dialogues at national, regional and international level (for example, the Shanghai International Forum on Lifelong Learning at the Shanghai World Expo 2010), bringing together key stakeholders. These discussions highlight the impact of lifelong learning policies and showcase innovative practice in, for example, active citizenship, workforce development and social integration.
UIL has started to compile the International Directory of Lifelong Learning: Policy and Research. Member States have been asked to enumerate key organisations, including sub-ministerial governmental departments (offices, agencies, etc.), responsible for formulating lifelong learning policy at national level, as well as leading research institutions or university faculties engaged in the study of lifelong learning.
