Longlife learning
For you to live you need to learn.
It's a necessity. We have to adapt to this fast paced environment.
A college degree doesn’t guarantee anything nowadays because everything becomes obsolete.
It’s not an option but a necessity.
Learning is existential
Learning is lifelong because it occurs when we are conscious.
It doesn't need to have a purpose although sometimes it has it .
It s an intrinsic part of the process of living. It doesn’t have to have an aim.
It is a combination of processes throughout a lifetime: body and mind - knowledge, attitudes, skills, values, emotions, senses-.
It transforms your life in a more cognitive way, in a more emotive way and practical way.
