Building Harmony: the first Live and Learn video is ready!

There’s a story behind every adult learner and every educator. The Live and Learn project consortium aims to shed some light on the learning pathways in lifelong learning and is now ready to present the results.

ELM, the European Lifelong Learning Magazine, is now bringing you the first video, coming all the way from Finland. You can also have a look below to discover the story of an amateur orchestra and their conductor.

Yet another one, from Denmark, takes the learner’s perspective and proves that difficult school experiences do not have to spoil the pleasure of learning in later life. Find out what Søren Jensen has to say about his story:

All the videos will be screened during the final project workshop which will take place in Brussels on June 29, during EAEA’s Annual Conference. Don’t forget to follow the project on Instagram to find out what was happening behind the scenes!

While the benefits of emerging technologies in adult education have already been recognised, educators still lack support to effectively integrate them in (non-)formal education contexts.
