What are the characteristics of a

Lifelong Learner, and what strategies can

we, as Learning Managers, use to

encourage our students to become Lifelong Learners?

“a continuously supportive process which stimulates and empowers individuals

to acquire all the knowledge, values, skills

and understanding they will require throughout their

lifetimes and to apply them with confidence, creativity and enjoyment in all roles,

circumstances and environments.”

(World Initiative on Lifelong Learning, 1994, p. 5, as cited in Candy, 2002)
