The first issue of the year of LLinE journal is out now! Issue 1/2012 features the theme of Transitions in human life and the role of learning in them.

Highlights of the issue:

• Adult learning is the weakest link in lifelong learning in Europe. What are the learning needs of ageing workers and how could EU policy help them?
• Previously human resource development has largely ignored the personal life stages of the employee. A new model of HR harmonizes career development with life stages.
• Empirical results of a Europe-wide study on the impact of non-formal adult education on social inclusion are out. Taking part in collective learning has a dramatically positive effect on the social inclusion of adults at risk of marginalization.

We have a special offer on this issue: 9 € (norm. 13 €) until 1st of June. The issue can be ordered from the LLinE website www.lline.fi or from markus.palmen@kvs.fi.
