• Planning committee
• Bernard Cornu, Raymond Morel, Tom van Weert and
  Jan Wibe.
• Reminder the spirit of this initiative
• The IFIP Agora initiative is part of a process of
  revitalisation of the strategy of the
  International Federation for Information
  Processing.
• As we start moving from an informatics society to
  an information or knowledge society we see
  transversal themes emerging, that are not just
  technology based. Examples are the themes of
  Lifelong learning, Security and Trust, Ethics and
  Citizen Education that have been discussed at the
  Summit on the Information Society, both in Geneva
  and Tunis.

The IFIP AGORA Initiativehttp//www.ifip-tc3.net/
article.php3?id_article146

• The Agora initiative aims
• to implement a dynamic methodology for initiating
  cooperation projects on Lifelong Learning with
  stakeholders such as
• UNESCO,
• UNITAR,
• the Digital Solidarity Fund
• and other IFIP Technical committees.
• The methodology takes into account that there is
  not one solution to Lifelong Learning and also
  that a lot of preliminary work still has to be
  done on issues such as reference competencies for
  LLL, e-portfolio and competency recognition,
  before effective implementation of LLL can be
  made a reality.
