The ASEM Global Lifelong Learning Week will take place in person from the 26th to the 30th of September at University College Cork. The focus of this week is on the topic of lifelong learning; however, this is also an opportunity for our large network of academics and partners to meet in person for the first time post-COVID.
Attendees at the event can expect to be involved in workshops and webinars hosted by each of the 6 research networks and Hub partners, as well as in some cultural events located around the beautiful campus of University College Cork and the city of Cork.
The ASEM LLL Hub has six research networks: E-Learning; Workplace Learning; Professionalisation of Adult Teachers and Educators; National Strategies for Lifelong Learning; Learning Transitions; Learning Cities and Learning Regions. All of the networks will be in Cork for the week where they will meet to disseminate results of research and offer symposiums into their networks.
