Making lifelong learning a reality: a handbook
This handbook can be used by anyone tasked with or interested in the promotion and facilitation of LLL. It is designed to be particularly useful to national policy-makers. It can be followed sequentially or compart-mentally to support LLL in a specific form or context. The handbook is structured in such a way as to guide the reader from the basics of LLL as a concept to the concrete implementation of LLL initiatives. Chapter 1 introduces LLL as an integrated policy for sustainable development, Chapter 2 provides guidance for the formulation of national LLL policies, Chapter 3 supports the design of national LLL implementation strategies that address contemporary issues and, finally, Chapter 4 moves to the local level and relates the guidance of previous chapters to the UNESCO learning city model. This handbook serves as a resource through which the ideals of LLL can be translated into LLL opportunities for all.
