For decades, international and national organisations have understood that lifelong learning is integral to enabling citizens to participate fully in civic and economic affairs. Yet there continues in all parts of the world to be little serious commitment to comprehensive policies for the implementation of lifelong learning. This is an important time to rethink how the policy agenda might be addressed as key international organisations debate the Sustainable Development Goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals which expire in 2015. 

This workshop will enable members of the public to understand the gains made in the past 15 years, to review examples to constructive policy development, and to consider options for initiatives which could be proposed in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. The workshop will enable participants to learn about relevant research, to analyse key policy statements, and to contribute to innovative thinking about the policy options. 

This event is part of Melbourne Knowledge Week 2014, proudly presented by City of Melbourne.
