L'institut anglais NIACE (National Institute of Adult Continuing Education) vient de mettre en ligne deux rapports qui se penchent sur la contribution du milieu culturel et, plus spécifiquement, des musées et des bibliothèques, dans l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie en Grande-Bretagne. Ces rapports, disponibles en anglais seulement, sont complémentaires au projet The Future of Lifelong Learning. Ils démontrent, entre autres,  l'importance du secteur culturel pour rejoindre des clientèles spécifiques et faire le pont entre les générations.

Présentation (en langue originale anglaise)

How museums, libraries and archives contribute to lifelong learning - a supplementary paper to the independent Inquiry into the Future for Lifelong Learning - outlines how museums, libraries and archives have widened participation in recent years and how they have brought people together and bridged gaps between generations.

The publication, however, recognises that more can be done to get even more people learning in local communities and examines key recommendations of the Inquiry's final report - Learning Through Life - like opening up existing spaces and resources in new ways and working closer together with other partners.

The second publication - Co-locating colleges and public libraries - was commissioned by the MLA to expand on the concept of public libraries working together with FE colleges. By examining four existing partnerships, the publication identifies that co-location allows for local learning strategies to broaden their remit. The publication also calls for the recognition that cultural institutions, as well as voluntary organizations, are often best suited to reach specific groups for whom the barriers to learning are the highest.
