The paper discusses the significance of lifelong learning as a foundation for sustainable development at a local level, explores the UNESCO concept of a learning city, and highlights the importance of sustaining the process of building learning cities.
Ausgangspunkt des Beitrags ist eine Betrachtung der Begriffe „Weiterbildung“ und „Kompetenzentwicklung“. Darüber hinaus wird unter Bezug auf die Anerkennung informell erworbener Kompetenzen das Leitbild des „Lebenslangen Lernens“ in seiner bildungspolitischen Bedeutung näher beleuchtet und auf ausgewählte Beispiele aus der europäischen Bildungspraxis Bezug genommen. Zentrale Annahme ist, dass eine Kompetenzentwicklung als integrativer Bestandteil von Weiterbildung auf Basis einer systematische…
Rohs/Käpplinger zeigen auf, dass der Lernberatungsbegriff – ähnlich wie früher der Schlüsselqualifikationsbegriff – aktuell eine Entgrenzung erfährt. Er ist eine Art „Omnibus“, in dem die unterschiedlichsten Protagonisten und Konzepte Platz finden. Nichtsdestotrotz lassen sich aufschlussreiche Gemeinsamkeiten und Traditionslinien in der Begriffsverwendung in der Weiterbildungslandschaft ausmachen, die bis zu Schulenberg in die 1960er und 1970er Jahre zurückreichen.

So the competence of refusing education might be seen as a base…

The support of food and move literacy in learning groups mainly aims for a benefit in terms of a health-promoting and sustainable lifestyle. The general education system has developed differentiated education plans containing basic contents and competences on these topics. In adult education comprehensive health education addresses aspects of food- as well as move literacy. In the context of literacy and basic education, however, there are only a few learning opportunities that focus on nutriti…
A good two-and-a-half years after the EU's lifelong learning education programme began, the German National Agency has drawn up an interim balance and reflects current trends of the 2009 applications in the programme.
