Produktbeschreibung

This open access book explores different landscapes of Lifelong Learning policies (LLP), producing case-based examinations of their institutional, discursive, and relational dimensions. Across Europe, young people develop their life courses amidst diverse living conditions and are confronted with a variety of institutional and structural arrangements that impact on their opportunities in education and labour. Considering the relevance of LLP in shaping those opportunities, the chapters draw from multi-level, mixed-methods research and offer original insights on the interplay of discourses and governance patterns in the processes of policy-making and deliverance. The book yields noteworthy insights into the widely differing realities across the European landscape, and also into the diverging ways young people deal with and actively participate in LLP.

Rezensionen

"This comparative study of lifelong learning spaces and places across Europe uses 'landscape' as its core metaphor. This term recognises what is seen from one point of view as a representation: both piece and picture of a scene. ... The strength of this project lies in its historical sensibility and concern with young people's agency. ... This study of lifelong learning landscapes extends the Europeanisation narrative by embracing young people as knowledge builders." (Terri Seddon, Comparative Education, September 11, 2024)
