Lifelong Creative Learning at UAL

Lifelong learning is often understood as returning to different forms of learning or returning to higher education later in life. At the heart of the term lies the idea that learning is not confined to formal educational periods/places, but takes place throughout a variety of different life stages, experiences and situations.

This paper has two aims. First, to gain a better understanding and identify initial gaps in relation to the different ways and levels of educational provision for adults over 21 (including vulnerable people) UAL currently provides by bringing together for the first time the provision various UAL staff deliver linked to lifelong learning, as part of their contributions in drafting this paper. Second, to make a case that the time is right for UAL to further discuss and develop a clear strategy on lifelong learning given internal and external drivers for change post-pandemic.
