Never Stop Asking- The Age of LifeLong Learning

with a dedicated stream on "The Role of Mobile Technologies in European Learning" 

Delegates from 17 different countries will meet on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th May, 2008 at the internationally famous spa resort of the Hotel Gellert, Budapest, Hungary. The four-star Danubius Hotel Gellert is one of the most traditional hotels in Budapest and Hungary. It is located in a picturesque environment at the foot of Gellert Hill, on the banks of the Danube.

 

The concept of the Learning Organisation appears to have gathered a new momentum in recent years alongside the principles of Lifelong Learning. What is emerging, are new applications relating Learning Organisations and LifeLong Learning to talent development; sustainable development and social cohesion; to emerging Information Technologies and to creative leadership and its impact on the organisation.  Lifelong Learning seeks to encourage and enable an ongoing process of learning at individual, team and organisational level in private, public and third sectors across geographical divides using the latest technologies to aid the learning process.

E.C.L.O.’s 15th International conference will address the following key themes

Ø        Fostering Sustainable Learning

Ø        Emerging Tools and Approaches that will shape the future of LifeLong Learning

Ø        The Role of Mobile Technologies in LifeLong Learning

Ø        LifeLong Learning and it’s Impact on Society

Ø        Standards and Qualifications in the Context of LifeLong Learning

Ø        National Perspectives on LifeLong Learning from France, USA and Hungary
