We Embrace A Process of Lifelong Learning Lifelong learning is a broad concept that focuses on the ongoing acquisition of knowledge or skills. It occurs where education is flexible, diverse and available at different times and places and is pursued throughout life. It is a continuum of the learning process that takes place at all levels - formal, non-formal and informal - utilizing various modalities such as distance learning and conventional learning. The idea is that learning can and does occur beyond the formal structure of an educational institution and occurs throughout one's lifetime.

The concept of lifelong learning has been adopted by most developed and developing nations across the globe given the scale of current economic and social change and the rapid transition to a knowledge-based society. These along with the demographic pressures resulting from an ageing population in the Western hemisphere are all challenges which demand a new approach to education and training, within the framework of lifelong learning.

In the context of these challenges, lifelong learning is given a high priority at GAINcontact where it is defined as encompassing all learning activity undertaken throughout life, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competence, within a personal, civic, social and/or employment-related perspective.

At GAINcontact, lifelong learning is therefore about providing each individual with learning pathways, suitable to his/her needs and interests at all stages of their lives. We assist individuals with opportunities to acquire and update all kinds of abilities, interests, knowledge and qualifications from the pre-school years to post-retirement. Our aim is to promote the development of knowledge and competences that will enable each individual to adapt to the knowledge-based society and actively participate in all spheres of social and economic life, taking more control of his or her future.

Through didactic lectures, question and answer sessions, group activity, homework assignment, and interactive sessions, you will be able to demonstrate and practice skills learned that address the root of your problems, reduce frustration and renew pleasure in what is around you. The presenters are highly qualified professionals in the field of self-development and psychology.

Most Lifelong Learning is directed at employment, career opportunities and continuing professional education for both employed and unemployed. This includes updating or re-training to acquire or extend knowledge and skills or qualifications for new roles. Lifelong learning is also about providing "second chances" to update basic skills and also offering learning opportunities at more advanced levels.
