The Life Learning Project

Proposed Initiatives

In order to achieve its goal, the Life Learning Project is forming five Initiatives - each with its own responsibilities and objectives, and all working together towards the overall Vision of the Project.

The division of the effort into these Initiatives will aid in the management and co-ordination of the work needed.

They are:

Initiative I -
Strategy, Publicity & Fund Raising

Set the overall strategy and direction of the Life Learning Project and its Initiatives
Co-ordinate the activities of the Initiatives
Create and maintain a network of potential and actual advisors, partners, participants, contributors and simple observers
Set up and maintain a publicity campaign to explain the concept of Life Learning Courses and the mission of the Life Learning Project to relevant people and organisations
Raise funds to help support all the Life Learning Project Initiatives
Fully articulate and maintain the Goals and Objectives of the Life Learning Project and its Initiatives
Monitor and measure progress towards the goals and objectives

Initiative II -
Validation & Accreditation

Develop a set of criteria for what constitutes a true Life Learning Course
Develop versions for:
- A 1-year post-school diploma course
- A 1-year post-graduate masters-level course
- Shorter courses for working adults
- A 3-4 year degree-level course
Develop a validation process for assessing…
- …individual modules that could be used as part of a Life Learning Course, and
- …complete Life Learning Courses, that are taken though a single institution, perhaps making use of modules that are provided by a variety of institutions
Provide a service for accrediting…
- …individual modules that could be used as part of a Life Learning Course and monitoring their conformity and quality on a regular basis,
- …complete Life Learning Courses, that are taken though a single institution, and monitoring their conformity and quality on a regular basis
Seek 'degree' accreditation status for Life Learning Course-accredited courses from recognised, prestigious universities

Initiative III -
Create a Life Learning Institute

Create a training course that is validated as a Life Learning Course.
- Initially this may consist entirely of accredited modules provided by other institutions
Create and run a training institute that offers the Life Learning Courses.

This Institute should be an exemplar and model which, initially, others can copy and learn from.

Initiative IV -
New Institute Promotion

Encourage and facilitate the setting up of new Institutes that specialise in the provision of Life Learning Courses.

Initiative V -
LLC Promotion in Mainstream Education

Encourage and facilitate established educational institutions to offer Life Learning Courses.
