Why Lifelong Learning?

• Human learning is a combination of processes
  whereby whole persons construct experiences of
  situations and transform them into knowledge,
  skills, attitudes, beliefs, values, emotions and
  the senses, and integrate
• the outcome into their own biographies. (Jarvis,
  2004111)
• Lifelong learning refers to the continuous
  acquisition of knowledge, skills and
  understandings from the cradle to the grave
  (Delors, 1998).
