Lifelong learning for the development of knowledge and competences of the population, taking into account the conditions for local sustainable development
2021
Abstract
The text of this article provides a brief overview of the theoretical foundations of andragogy in the context of lifelong learning that would support actors of sustainable development at the local level - providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to respond to the increasing demands of a rapidly changing world. Lifelong learning programmes based on the outlined principles can be considered within the concepts of place-based learning, social learning and/or transformative learning and take different forms.
The authors also discuss strategic documents that concern lifelong learning at European level and within the Czech Republic, and give an example of an innovative foresight-based method.
