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.
