Lifelong learnin g e invecchiamento attivo in Italia. Punti di forza e criticità

  • Michele Bertani

The chapter examines lifelong learning as a key factor in personal development and social cohesion, focusing on the strengths and challenges of educational processes. It highlights lifelong learning’s importance for active ageing by promoting inclusion, soft skills development, and psycho-physical well-being. Recent data on lifelong learning participation across Europe are presented, showing that Italy lags behind other countries. The chapter also explores the motivations driving adults to engage in learning, such as personal growth, improved job opportunities, and social interaction. In its conclusion, the text suggests strategies to enhance the effectiveness of lifelong learning processes, including stronger coordination among public and private stakeholders and greater recognition of non-formal learning.
