The PrimeTimers Colloquia: The Third Sector and Lifelong Learning
14 April, London
Price: from £25

The PrimeTimers Colloquia is a series of early evening debates for an engaged and informed examination of an issue - lifelong learning - that is strategic for the future of the third sector in the British economy and society.

This one will examine the idea that the establishment of a University, the strongest brand in education, could recognise the role of civil society in underpinning the diverse values and aspirations of freely associated people worldwide, including the third sector. It could also act as the focus for the skills, training, research and lifelong learning essential to a strong and effective third sector. Are the barriers – whether financial, institutional or cultural - insurmountable?
