Call for Papers

The Conference will revolve around three themes: 

Learning and Place: focusing on where innovation occurs including both the role of learning in responding to innovation and new initiatives linked to place and the way learning is embedded in it, for example, Learning Cities, Towns or Communities, or learning in the changing context of work, leisure, family, travel and tourism
Tranformational Change: focusing on how innovation occurs and the link to Lifelong Learning for example emerging technologies, practice based approaches
Innovation in Daily Life and Lifelong Learning: focusing on ensuring that innovation is shared by all for example innovative inclusive or accessible responses to learning in work, leisure, travel education
