The journal Lifelong Learning in Europe LLinE is unique in its concept in the adult education world. It moves between research and fieldwork, focusing on both, reporting of interesting results in both sections, and is thus useful to both. Its is internationally praised for its contents.
We report of ‘exemplary practice’ and fresh research wherever we find it, all over Europe, and beyond. This way new ideas, visions and solutions spread their stimulating effect widely in the field.
The field we focus on is varied. It covers learning for work and learning at work, higher education and liberal education, learning in and through NGOs and in social connections. Everything is lifelong learning. Yet, we concentrate mainly on adults learning.
In different parts of Europe adults’ learning has been solved in different ways. Some countries can be proud of their wide participation in well-supported adult and continuing education, while in some others people have taken the initiative themselves and produced different learning opportunities out of their own needs. We can see our own system in a new light when reflected against some others.
This is the copy which shows to you what the LLinE looks like, how it feels in your hand and what the things are that interest you in it. In this issue we learn about learning, challenges, ways and assessment.
The LLinE is valuable to read, to give as a present, to work with. But only if you have it. Read the cover texts, what is your LLinE?
