The increasing emphasis on lifelong learning in some countries leads them to reconsider their educational systems and educational culture. Despite reforms, lifelong learning is still not a reality in the 21st century.  Among many challenges to be addressed include better bridging among levels and learning settings; considering the need to maintain skills throughout life; considering financial issues to bring the discourse more decisively into policy discussion, and exploring the social dimension of learning. Participants shared experiences and explore regional strategies. The European Union experience with its Lifelong Learning Program (LLP) will be presented.
