Critical reflections - 1
Many examples of good practice, a good overview,
a lot of inspiration, but
still difficult to see the lifelong learning perspective
Still far from project to everyday practice
Still limited involvement of learners
Still limited focus on learning outcome
Still far from quality paper and policy to systematic
practice
