Learning Centres in Europe

This is an examination of the wide range of current practice in Learning Centres in Europe, and of their future prospects.

As well as chapters reviewing the European experience as a whole, it includes contributions from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Slovenia, Spain and the UK presenting national experiences and describing distinctive visions for the future.

The contributors also explore approaches which attract new learners and give them increased control and 'ownership' of their learning activities.

Practitioners and managers who work in learning centres will find this book a rich source of information about, and analysis of, practice in a wide range of different centres and contexts.

It will also be invaluable reading for researchers and policy-makers interested in the many different types of learning centres, and approaches to lifelong learning.
