As usual, this year we are going to hold the Conference on lifelong learning problems. It will take place 29-31 May, 2015 in Pushking Leningrad State University. We will be glad to welcome our constant participants as well as those who will arrive for the first time. Send your requests and reports to [email protected]

Slowly-slowly, but winter is coming to Saint-Petersburg and simultaneously that means that the June Conference is also approaching.

As Veikko Torvinen said sending me the photo: "Juha is waiting for his turn to make presentation on "philosophy of biking around Russia in the frames of continuous learning".
This joke can be understood by those who know that Juha have come to the conference venue in Pushkin from Saint-Petersburg city centre by bike (P.S. there are no special bike paths in SPb, he had to move along with cars in very stressful traffic, so it was a real act of bravery)

With the kindest permission of Mr Juhani Anttila, here I place the slides of his Plenary Session key notes on "Ensuring the quality of learning through effective and efficient educational processes". Matter is that the slides contain lots of useful and greatly-organized information, but were hard to be read from the presentation screen, especially from far rows. The report of Mr Antilla caused great interest and many participants asked for the slides. In order not to send it to everyone, I place the slides here. Link is save - it leads to Google Drive.

The first part of the Plenary session is coming to the end. This year we, fortunately, were able to listen to Arne Carlsen. He gave us the glance into the future of lifelong learning in 2015-2030. Great interest was caused by Marlena Bouche's report titled "La revolution educative". Other reporters also deserve many praisal words, but the participants are going out of the Assembly Hall so I have to go.
