The 13th edition of the Lifelong Learning Week will take place in Brussels on 27 November – 1 December 2023.
This year’s edition will be hosted by MEP Dragoș Pîslaru, chair of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee (EMPL) of the European Parliament.
The European Commission has proclaimed 2023 the European Year of Skills. This decision comes from the need to address the mismatch between employment needs and education sectors but it reveals a vision that places education as a sparring partner of the labour market. Therefore, this year the theme for the LLLWeek revolves around “Key competences for all: a lifelong learning approach to skills.”
Through more than 20 different in-person workshops (and more internal meetings), the Lifelong Learning Platform hopes to deliver an engaging week that explores all the facets of this topic.
