Inquiry calls for evidence on lifelong learning and
sustainable development
In spite of the growing public and political awareness of the
challenge posed by climate change in recent years, there is still a
huge amount to be done if this awareness is to be translated into
meaningful action. Because of the role lifelong learning can play in
enabling both action and an informed public debate, the Inquiry into
the Future for Lifelong Learning - sponsored by NIACE - is putting
out a public call for evidence on lifelong learning and sustainable
development. Interested individuals and organisations are invited to
submit written evidence to the Inquiry by 7th August 2008.
Tom Schuller, Director of the Inquiry, comments:
“As citizens almost all of us are aware that sustainable
development poses huge challenges. However many of us are baffled
by the complexities of the issues. This is an absolutely crucial
area where lifelong learning can counter people’s feelings of
powerlessness. But there remain many questions about how such
learning opportunities should be developed and delivered, as well
as their content. This is an area where we need a lot of work
quickly to establish who should have responsibility for what, and
this is exactly what the Inquiry will address.”
The Inquiry invites submissions that address the following
questions:
