Today has been the first day of the 2013 Lifelong Learning Planet Forum hosted by the Gyeonggi Do Provincial Institute for Lifelong Learning (GILL) and the National Institute for Lifelong Education in Korea.

PASCAL Director Professor Michael Osborne was amongst the speakers focusing on European patterns in learning city development. Interestingly we have also discovered that Gyeonggi-do and Tampere City in Finland have been exchanging practices, during the course of a GILL staff tour to three Nordic countries, which had the aim of looking for insight and interesting case examples of LLL and adult education. This is quite a co-incidence since later this month PASCAL will be hosting a party of mayors from the Tampere area in Glasgow. So it seems a three way Korea-Finland-Scotland exchange is possible.
