1Lifelong Learning (as defined by the European Commission (2001: 33) is an all learning activity undertaken throughout life, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competences

within a personal, civic, social and/or employment-related perspective. Lifelong Learning encompasses the whole spectrum of formal, non-formal and informal learning. The objectives

of learning include active citizenship, personal fulfilment and social inclusion, as well as employment related aspects. The principles which underpin Lifelong Learning and guide itseffective implementation emphasise the centrality of the learner, the importance of equal opportunities and the quality and relevance of learning opportunities (European Commission 2001: 3-4).
