Older People Learning: How does learning contribute to different areas of age
policy?
| Date(s) | 26 March 2010 |
| Organisation | NIACE : National Institute of
Adult Continuing Education |
| Location | London
England |
| Details | The ageing population is one of the
biggest policy challenges facing us. Most people can now expect 20 years in active
retirement, and the number living beyond a hundred will quadruple by 2030. Learning can
play an important part in improving the quality of life of older adults and can reduce
the costs of expensive medical and social care services. But our current services are not
well prepared for this, and the numbers of old people learning have been actually falling
in recent years. In 2009 NIACE presented an agenda for action in its policy paper Older
People's Learning.
This conference will explore the policy and practice issues in each of the following four
areas through presentations from national experts, workshops looking at current project
work in these areas, and a final plenary to bring together ideas and proposals for next
steps, in policy and practice. |
