In a post-pandemic time, learning places and learning spaces need to be re-visited, re-thought and re-invented. An inclusive and sustainable working life requires adaptation and new skills, and this need has been further strengthened through the digital and green shift. Not least, two years of pandemic have changed the working life for many. We have a society where geographical distances have become less important, and where increased use and acceptance of digital technology has created more flexible workplaces. At the same time, the differences between different groups of employees have increased. We are facing an increasing digital divide, not only between employees with on-site work and those with hybrid or remote work, but also in the increasing absence of natural socialising spaces. There is a demand for re-inventing physical and online meeting places for formal and informal learning. Resilient education for the future embraces more than ever not only life-span aspects, but also life-wide, contextual dimensions. This poses also new challenges to work towards UN Sustainable Development goals, and in particular No. 4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.”
The three-day conference constitutes in itself a meeting place between education, business, and the public sector, and will address lifelong learning key issues, trends and best practices on three levels and possible sub-themes:
1.
Authorities and transnational organisations (policy making)
2.
Education sector and public/private enterprises (development and support)
3.
Educators and learners (implementation; teaching and learning)
