Perpetuum mobile
E.A.E.A.

• The knowledge society needs a more integral
  and interactive approach of adults learning and
  learning in later life - therefore students have
  to learn to learn in schools and colleges

12
Education should not be closed into a new
system.
E.A.E.A.

• But social learning processes have to be
  acknowledged and widely implemented
• Not only related to work and employment
• But also to voluntary work and social engagement

13

• And when the sun arises
• Education should be more concretised in
  objectives as
• Personal fulfilment and self confidence
  (cultural capital)
• Active citizenship, participation and social
  inclusion (social capital)
• Employability and flexibility (human capital)

  embedded in and engaged with a wide diversity of
  groups in society

social environments slowly and unseen into
a learning
environment
