Abstract

In Spring this year Birmingham City Council in the UK became the latest winner of the British Telecom lifelong learning education awards. Aiming to assist one of society’s most neglected groups, the council’s “e‐street” initiative intends to bring basic skills training through computers to homeless people. The £75,000 first prize goes a long way to highlight the increasing importance many institutions place on the concept of lifelong learning. The European Council defines lifelong learning as “learning activities carried out at any time in life and in a wide range of environments, undertaken with a view to improving knowledge and skills.”
