"Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you
may become a teacher of others", Confucius had already stated.

In times of economic crisis, what roles can lifelong learning play?

The second edition of the world forum takes on its full meaning with the theme of the Shanghai World Expo: "Better City, Better Life". The Lifelong Learning World Committee is always wondering about the relationships between the global and local levels whilst giving intermediary players the floor. The idea of lifelong learning (from a very young age to the end of life) was reiterated during the first international forum at UNESCO-Paris in October 2008. It was also dominant at Belém in December 2009 during CONFINTEA VI (6th International Conference on Adult Education). Everybody can develop their skills all through their lives, despite some difficult contexts, and flourish on a professional, a personal and a citizen's level.

This second international event is aimed at all players and decision-makers of all the countries that are directly in charge of lifelong learning. This time the forum will emphasize the role of learning territories where companies, public communities and civil society play an essential part. The World Committee strongly wishes to have all forms of learning recognized: formal, non-formal and informal education (on an individual or a collective scale) as well as experience recognition. The World Committee advocates pedagogical innovation and anticipates the needs in education and training. All the countries in the world will have those needs, sooner or later, in a context of questioning and deep global transformations. Lifelong learning contributes actively to the socioeconomic progress of nations and to their future. Nobody denies it now. The Shanghai forum will trigger a worldwide recognition movement of all forms of knowledge. It will be an opportunity to share ideas and think about the international educational revolution which is underway and about a way of living in harmony.
