We have held a consultation process with high-level experts to develop a vision for lifelong learning within UNESCO's Futures of Education initiative. Moreover, many of our experts and partners have contributed to our laboratory of ideas by reflecting on the role and shape of learning in a post-COVID-19 society with contributions to our blog.
