WHICH PROGRAM FOR THE 1ST WORLD FORUM ?
“The concept of lifelong learning appears as one of the keys to the XXI st century”
Jacques Delors, report to UNESCO of the International Commission on education for the XXIst century “Education, the treasure within” -1996-
Faced with contemporary transformations, what future for education and training?
The forum wishes to scrutinize the transformations and tensions which characterize and affect the activities, actors and policies related to education and lifelong learning. These transformations and tensions are often closely linked with much wider cultural, economic, political and societal transformations, within which training and education have numerous roles. They have long been considered as essential resources to prepare and accompany development under all its forms, as regards public policies, corporate strategies as well as individual and collective evolutions. But they are also a driving force in the creation of activities and the opening of new sectors of development. Within the interplay of multiple forces, they are themselves in constant change. The Forum is meant for actors and decision-makers from all countries directly concerned with education and lifelong learning, to take stock of the tendencies, innovative practices, paradoxes and contradictions of formal and informal education systems in relation with their environments. The sixth International Conference on adult education (CONFINTEA VI) will be held in Brazil in 2009. The five previous CONFINTEA conferences took place in Elsinore (Denmark) in 1949, in Montreal (Canada) in 1960, in Tokyo (Japan) in 1972, in Paris (France) in 1985, and in Hamburg (Germany) in 1997. CONFINTEA V, acknowledged as a historic conference, introduced a holistic conception of adult education and training as essential tools to answer the challenges issued today all over the world in the social field and in the sector of development. The preparation, the monitoring and the follow-up of CONFINTEA VI will lead to an assessment of adult education and training worldwide today, and will echo the new political, cultural, social and economic issues most closely related to education and international development. As an intergovernmental meeting of UNESCO, CONFINTEA VI will integrate in its preparatory process this regional conference. Thus the 1st world forum (France, October 2008) will aim at two goals: as a preliminary step preparing CONFINTEA VI, in Brazil, 2009, it will appraise the general situation and the stakes of adult education and training for Europe today; in addition, it has also to be considered as opening a sequence of regular international meetings of the same kind, on the issues of education and lifelong learning. This first Forum will be held at UNESCO - Paris, on 28 and 29 October 2008. The first session will be devoted to an assessment of the situation with the participation of UNESCO and OECD experts. It will be followed by discussions about the action and networking of regions. The next step will consist in an analysis of contemporary tendencies. Ultimately the closing session will welcome chairmen of international organizations and of multinational companies in order to debate about the globalization of lifelong learning. The 2nd World Forum will be held in October 2009. It will focus on scientific research and innovative practices in the field of lifelong learning. Then yearly meetings will be scheduled so as to place these works in a long-term perspective.

Session #1 “The concept of Lifelong Learning : assessment of the situation ”
The concept of lifelong learning, which appeared formally in the Delors report to UNESCO, already has a long history. This session will aim at assessing the situation worldwide as thoroughly as possible. Practices are very different according to geographic areas and social sectors. There is some confusion in people’s minds: the notion of lifelong learning is often understood as adult vocational training, which restricts its meaning. In fact, the concept of lifelong learning concerns all the periods of life, from infancy to retirement, during which somebody has the opportunity to learn in any place, by themselves, from the others, from the environment, in action, from and by experience in systems based on a great variety of methods and means (family education, formal, informal and non-formal education, continuing education for adults, training from action, experience and self- training). Therefore this concept extends beyond the frontiers between all the ages and places of life. It takes for granted that the person is one, indivisible and global, and is an actor in the “learning society”.

Session #2 “Education and training : Towards a worldwide network of Regions?”
The new technologies of communications entail a modification of territories in the fields of education and training. The local and global spheres interact. Consequently, the pupil, the student, the wage-earner or the citizen who logs on the Internet enters a “global space of lifelong learning”. He or she thus participates in a wide space of collective and collaborative intelligence. But this globalization does not suppress the need for proximity. On the
CMEF - 24/08/2008
contrary, the region seems to be the relevant perimeter for lifelong learning policies. The experiments in decentralized co-operations have proved to be efficient. The question of a worldwide network of regions will be raised during this session.

Session #3 “Lifelong learning: analysis and prospects ?”
In the society of knowledge, the emphasis is placed on skills and creativity. The missionalmost exclusively assigned, until today, to formal education- to raise the level of general and vocational culture, is now shared with other actors. Even if there still exists frontiers between initial education, apprenticeship and continuing training, between general training and vocational training, the barriers, typical of traditional education systems, are being questioned. These are globally organized according to the formula:” a classroom- a teacher – a homogenous group – a unique content “. This architecture is no longer adapted to a society of knowledge and to new educative technologies. Initial training is not the only pathway to knowledge any more. Other places have become essential: the press, television, the radio, the Internet. The consultation of varied and extensive databases will notably modify the teaching methods of teachers. Moreover, in the society of knowledge, skills soon become obsolete and learning under any form proves to be vital. We are gradually entering an era which soon will make each of us “learners”. The concept of a society based on Knowledge will thus be of paramount importance. The stakes are high, all the more so as we will have to go from a so-called “objective” knowledge to a” constructive” knowledge-and vice versa- , from an industrial society to a society of knowledge, from education to apprenticeship. And, ultimately, from a classic education system to a system including numerous ways of learning.

BREAK Session #4 “ Lifelong learning : What about globalization ? "
In a global world where the economy of knowledge is becoming dominant, education and training are reconfiguring. International systems of education, training and apprenticeship are gradually being established, in all places and indiscriminately, whatever the level, the job, the place of dwelling or the age of the people concerned. In this global system, the citizen becomes, in fact, a “lifelong learner”. As a result, the issue is to know which form this new world order of education, training and apprenticeship will take. All the more so, as states have full competence even though policies are implemented at continent level by international organizations. Will the new technologies of communication enable developing countries to have access to knowledge?
