Lifelong Learning Toolbox (WP1)

Tested tool to explore the potential of a European university to create an lifelong learning (LLL) offering at an international level: this tool will be developed by working with a selection of 12 EUTOPIA learning communities (LC) to pilot different LLL formats and monitor outputs and outcomes. The monitoring activities will enable us to develop a well-tested and documented portfolio of LLL formats that address different disciplines and sectors, a sound framework to support the design and delivery of such educational opportunities, and a set of practical materials to train higher education (HE) departments interested in developing LLL opportunities within and outside the EUTOPIA Alliance. Guidelines and training for academic staff will be developed.

The first four identified themes and resulting EUTOPIA learning communities that are part of the current workshops are:

• HEALTHCARE “Leading Strategic Innovation in Healthcare”
• ENTREPRENEURSHIP “Technological Business Development”
• MEDIA and COMMUNICATION “Fundamentals of Television Direction”
• EDUCATION “Urban Education”

Lifelong Learning Toolbox (WP1)

The Lifelong Learning Business Model will be developed based on a benchmarking exercise that will examine useful formats and tools developed across Europe and evaluate them about project goals and outcomes. The business model will consist of a set of sustainability scenarios, feasibility studies, and strategy papers describing the conditions needed to develop and deliver the different LLL formats sustainably.
