Roundtable 'Higher education institutions as change agents for sustainable development – Three approaches in practice'
On 19 May, at 16:15 (CEST), the UIL roundtable will present three viable lifelong learning approaches that higher education institutions (HEIs) can adopt to respond to wider societal needs, namely the learning city development approach, addressing the learning needs of an ageing society, and community engagement. This session will synthesize findings from a current research project being conducted by UIL that uses case studies to examine initiatives implemented in universities across different world regions. These three themes will serve to initiate an interactive discussion about how HEIs can act as change agents for sustainable development, particularly by following a lifelong learning approach.
