The 3rd World lifelong learning forum: WHY AND HOW LIFELONG LEARNING?

The 3rd World lifelong learning forum in Marrakech (MOROCCO). Oct. 31 - Nov. 2nd 2012. WHY AND HOW LIFELONG LEARNING? Plaquette de présentation. Inscription au Forum 2012.
The lifelong learning world committee (CMA) leads a think-tank on these concepts by relying on a world partnership, enhanced by experts public audiences. The 3rd world forum constitutes an important step since it tends to reply to a central questioning - Do we have to lifelong learn? If this idea is consensual, it doesn’t always cover the same vision. Every expert agrees with “ WHY LIFELONG LEARN”, where ever they come from - industrial or developing or emerging countries. Hence, that’s high time to go through “HOW TO LIFELONG LEARN”. The 2nd forum in Shanghai in July 2010 had opened some trails to be looked into, in Marrakech: Among those, the territorialization appears in echoe to the globalization the power of learning and training network, the inter-culturality in “living together”, the building characteristics of the learning in chaotic course, the world crisis context and accelerated mobility.
INNOVATING REPORTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
The forum will consist of varied innovating reports and achievements. They will be analyzed in work-groups, then reported in plenary sessions.
- It’s about gathering participants on the pitch, academic researchers, enterprise and institution participants – our peculiar approach consists of linking together all these words and enhancing our mind mutually,
- being more centered on problematics or experiences than on themes, - prioritizing exchanges in order to promote knowledge, creating synergies, attracting concrete actions from all over the world,
- allowing a work-group production whose synthesis will be restituted in large groups and published in acts,
- preserving culture heterogeneity in order to nourish ourselves,
- make representatives take part, from all parts of the world as witnesses, experts and activity leaders, integrate the guest country distinctiveness in the think –tank,
- announce a statement to the media and to the world organizations.
THEME EXAMPLES FOR WORK-GROUP:
-Tradition and modernity, from the knowledge society to learner territories. From the innovation, knowledge recognition of all forms of learning - economic and social fields - experience and awareness, emotion and reason. Individual or collective dimension in learning, compartmentalizing and inter (or multi) culturality, complexity, otherwise WHAT?
