Learning Community by Community: Preparing for a Knowledge-Based Society.
Faris, Ron
Education Canada, v43 n1 p4,6-7,42-43 Win 2003
A new model of learning communities based on lifelong learning is emerging. The approach integrates nonformal and formal learning so that all learning is recognized. The expertise and learning resources that exist in every community are mobilized so that community purposes are achieved. Examples are given of learning communities in rural British Columbia involving Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. (TD)
