Creative and Inclusive Strategies for Lifelong Learning: report of International Roundtable, 27-29 November 2000

As UNESCO’s international reference centre for lifelong learning, UIE, over its thirty years of experience in this field, has initiated several research activities in this area and collaborated with a number of institutions and researchers all over the world. Building on these experiences in elucidating a conceptual framework of lifelong learning, the Institute has been reviewing, at the onset of the new millennium, existing lifelong learning perspectives as well as elaboration on new perspectives. The Institute has come to the conclusion that it can contribute to the emergence of a holistic and integrated framework that takes into consideration the cultural, social, political and economic components, as well as the vertical and horizontal aspects of lifelong learning. The current complex, rapidly changing, globalizing and information-intensive learning environment produces a need to revisit and examine existing frameworks of lifelong learning, with a view to making them more relevant to the individuals, communities and societies in the 21^st century.
