Lifelong Learning Ecologies is a concept that aims at addressing the complexity of learning in our contemporary society.

The concept seeks to overcome separations that are no longer useful in a situation where learning happens across several contexts of life and particularly beyond formal education. In fact, the abundance of resources in the open and social Web has created unprecedented learning opportunities. The new forms of learning have emphasised attributes such as “complex”, “self-organised”, “connected”, and “adaptive”, where it is highlighted learner’s freedom of choice. Moreover, the possibility of blending digital activities with on-site activities has led to the hybridisation of learning contexts, where the learners experience a sort of “continuum” while searching for resources, cultivating relationships and engaging in activities to help them achieve their own, more or less, conscious learning goals. 

In this workshop, organised in the context of the DETECT PROJECT we will share ideas to develop lifelong learning ecologies at school in order to support teachers and students’ critical digital literacies.

After some guided activities, we will discuss together to which extent nurturing learning ecologies, by moving beyond the classroom and involving the whole school as a community, jointly with families and local institutions (including the university) can generate a robust educational ecosystem where the learning ecologies thrive.

The workshop will unfold in two phases: 

1- Access to materials for self-paced learning through the SOLET "Self-Organised Learning Environment for Teachers" 

2- Synchronous online workshop:

• 11:30-1pm (UK) - 12:30- 2pm (SP-IT) 1.30-3pm (FI) - Guided Activities

Access to the materials and the platform will be provided upon registration.
