18 November 2003 OPEN_HOUSE 010
Learning for a Change
Today's information society challenges traditional schooling, corporate innovation and organisational development. Success depends on people's abilities to initiate their own inquiries and learn new skills rapidly. People need to continue learning well beyond childhood or initial professional training. Learning itself needs to be rethought as a lifelong, self-aware process in which diverse people understand and direct their own strategies for approaching new ideas and constructing new skills.
