Lifelong learning

Lifelong learning

Lifelong learning is broadly defined as the ongoing, voluntary and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. It is important for an individual’s competitiveness and employability, but also enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development (“The status and working conditions of artists and cultural and creative professionals”, report of the OMC (open method of coordination) working group of member states’ experts, June 2023).
