Lifelong Learning Lab 2023 – National Training for Education Stakeholders
Lifelong Learning Lab 2023 – National Training for Education Stakeholders
The Lifelong Learning Platform – European Civil Society for Education is delighted to present its pilot activity, the Lifelong Learning Lab – National Training for Education Stakeholders. With this format, LLLP seeks to keep the momentum of EU cooperation to assess EU citizens’ capacity to participate in policy-making, suggest solutions and break silos in the education sectors.
How can we promote EU cooperation in education, training and lifelong learning in national contexts? How can we plant the seed for the creation of a national lifelong learning platform in order to build bridges between sectors? The goals will be pursued through a two-day event during which LLLP will take participants through a wide range of topics, ranging from EU cooperation in education and training, to EU decision-making processes, and from civil society engagement to national contexts.
A two-day training event, the LLLAB will aim to bring the gap between European and national policies in education and training, by highlighting the role of civil society organisations and other education stakeholders. Assessing the way they contribute to policy development in EU and in national contexts, the LLLAB presents itself as the place to discuss and learn from one another how to further cooperation in education in the EU. European issues and national issues will be examined together, to identify how to bring the EU level and national level of cooperation in education and training together to address the needs and challenges in this field. Further to this, and following the policy recommendation in its Feasibility study, LLLP would also like to explore the possibilities for national lifelong learning platforms.
For its 2023 edition LLLP will bring this laboratory to Girona, Spain, on 26-27 June. Education stakeholders from European and Spanish contexts will come together to stir the new generation of cooperation in education and training. Interpretation will be provided Spanish to English and viceversa for all plenary moments. During the event, photographs and videos of the activities will be taken for dissemination and documentation purposes.
