Research and Scholarship

Our research and scholarship aims to encourage further development of the concept and practice of lifewide learning, personal development and education. Our book, 'Learning for a Complex World: a lifewide concept of learning, development and education' provides our first compilation of ideas and research and we are planning to launch an e-book in spring 2012 to act as a focal point for on-going knowledge development.

We will invite members of the Community to participate in the development and implementation of the scheme. Please check the Learning Partnerships page for details.
