Grundtvig 4 Network, 2001-2004:

"Supporting the development of New Learning Pathways for Adults"

This Grundtvig 4 network, coordinated by ERDI, aims to provide an overview of lifelong learning strategies which encourage the adaptation and transfer of information and practice between formal and informal approaches and between different sectors of education and training and their associated professions. It is prompted by a growing need to encourage more open systems of education and training which encourage recurrent learning; promote social inclusion; equality of opportunity; greater flexibility and learner-centredness among professionals.

The project focuses upon strategies which

• Increase demand for learning through innovative approaches to promotion, marketing and outreach; seeking to widen participation among adults who, traditionally, under-participate in organised learning;

• improve the quality of supply by contributing to the initial and continuing professional development of those involved in helping adults learn.
