Abstract
'Learning to Learn' (L2L) has been identified in many contexts as one of the basic skills for success in the knowledge society. With increasingly rapid changes in the work place, in part due to changing technology and as a result of changing societal needs in the context of globalization, it is reasonable to assume that citizens must learn to learn in order that they can maintain their full and continued participation in employment and civil society or risk social exclusion. In this context, learning to learn is a quintessential tool for lifelong learning and thus education and training needs to provide the learning environment for the development of this competence for all citizens. Persons with fewer opportunities (those with special needs, school dropouts and adult learners) and through different learning environments (formal, non-formal and informal) must not be overlooked. This symposium will discuss the concept 'Learning to Learn' from different perspectives and explore different initiatives taken around the world to offer a new look at educating the masses.
