Philosophy
The LLCA believes that people need opportunities for lifelong learning in order to enhance the quality of life. Continuous learning is an instrument for the fulfilment of an entire life. Learning, working, and leisure should be intertwined. Access to lifelong learning is necessary to enable people to better understand and cope with changing social and economic conditions. Each organization and community is most suited to creating meaningful program experiences and of having authority and responsibility over these experiences. Effective cooperation and coordination of such experiences will allow for maximum involvement of adults and utilization of resources. The LLCA will strive to create learning opportunities to fulfill the needs of regional residents.
