Lifelong Learning and Innovation: UALL Conference 2019 - Call for papers

Our 2019 Conference Lifelong Learning and Innovation, 10-12 April, 2019, is being held in Telford, the home of the Industrial Revolution. In keeping with this the conference will focus on these three themes:

Learning and Place: focusing on where innovation occurs including both the role of learning in responding to innovation and new initiatives linked to place and the way learning is embedded in it, for example, Learning Cities, Towns or Communities, or learning in the changing context of work, leisure, family, travel and tourism

Transformational change: focusing on how innovation occurs and the link to Lifelong Learning for example emerging technologies, practice based approaches

Innovation in Daily Life and Lifelong Learning: focusing on ensuring that innovation is shared by all for example innovative inclusive or accessible responses to learning in work, leisure, travel education

The Conference is underpinned by three principles

• Inclusion
• Sustainable futures
• Lifelong Learning practice in order to respond to a changing world
