Lifelong learning expert in Brisbane

One of the world’s leading authorities on lifelong learning and education, Professor Norman Longworth, will be making a public presentation at a seminar at the Brisbane City Hall today.

The seminar, Making Learning Communities Tick: Who Does What and How, is an initiative of The University of Queensland’s Community Service and Research Centre based at the Ipwsich campus.

Professor Longworth is currently President of the World Initiative on Lifelong Learning and Advisory Professor of Lifelong Learning at the European Centre for Lifelong Learning at Napier University in the UK.

He is also the author of two seminal books – Lifelong Learning: New visions, new roles, new implications for the 21st century (1996) and Learning Cities for a Learning Society (1999) – and former manager of the Towards a European Learning Society (TELS) project.

Today’s seminar will be Professor Longworth’s only public presentation during this visit to Australia. It will run from 9am to 12 noon in the Brisbane Room, 1st floor, City Hall, Brisbane.
