Workplaces as Learning Spaces –conceptual and empirical insights
The Research Network on Workplace Learning (RN2) has directed its attention to the task of decoding working places in Asia and Europe as lifelong learning spaces. Workplaces encompass not just companies and public services, but also a wide range of organisational and social contexts, including non-profit–making NGOs and voluntary work, as well as diverse forms of self-employment, sometimes under irregular and precarious conditions. They offer very different kinds of learning opportunities: some are learning-conducive, others are less so; some provide structured work -related education and training for employees, whereas in others, learning is integrated into the flow of working processes. Learning spaces are constructed through the interplay of workplace structures and practices with formal, non -formal and informal learning. They provide a framework for understanding how opportunities for lifelong learning, including professional and personal development at work, are distributed, structured, experienced and used. Through exchange of information, workshop discussions and joint studies of how workplace learning is provided, practised and understood in Asian and European countries, RN2 is building up a shared body of knowledge that is empirically based, contextualised and theoretically informed.
ASEM desktop study on the role higher education can play in sustainable development through the development of lifelong learning skills
The ASEM Desktop Study was commissioned by the ASEM Education and Research Hub for Lifelong Learning (ASEM LLL Hub) and was conducted by Danish Clearinghouse for Educa-tional Research. The aim of this ASEM Desktop Study was to find relevant research literature about the role higher education plays in relation to lifelong learning and sustainable development in Asia. In a later report, the intention is to perform a comparative analysis of how selected countries in Asia and Europe work to promote lifelong learning in relation to ESD.

| Competence development as workplace learningInnsbruck University Press, 2007 This publication addresses the challenge how working places might best be educationally (re-)constructed as learning spaces for developing competences for professional but also for public and private life. The contributions from Austria, the People’s Republic of China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Malaysia, Thailand and the United Kingdom, covering also Germany, the Nordic countries and Ireland, are the outcome of an international research seminar held at the University of Innsbruck in September 2006 within the framework of the “Asia-Europe-Meeting Research and Education Hub on Lifelong Learning” (ASEM-LLL), in particular its research network on competence development as workplace learning. |
