Diversity, identity and inclusion in Lifelong Learning:  Shaping a 2020 vision for mature students

This is a pivotal time for lifelong learning within higher education. Institutions are being challenged to create a learning landscape that not only widens inclusion and diversity, but which also actively reaches out to mature learners, a group often neglected in the widening participation debate. This conference will explore the context, frameworks and approaches needed for lifelong learning to thrive in the coming decades. It will encourage international as well as UK perspectives and encourage participation from both consumers – mature students themselves – and those involved in delivering vision and programmes within the higher education sector.

The UALL annual conference 2020 is organised in partnership with the University of Liverpool’s Go Higher Foundation Diploma which is celebrating 20-years of providing access to higher education to mature students without traditional entry qualifications.
