This anthology discusses the necessity of an expanded notion of lifelong learning. Expanded lifelong learning means providing consistent and inter-connected preconditions for learning in all life contexts, both individually and collectively. Expanding the concept of lifelong learning means to provide conducive preconditions for learning, organizing all activities for learning, implementing, and promoting learning broadly across institutions and organizations. Expanded lifelong learning is necessary to handle current global crises. Through the nine chapters, the authors explore lifelong learning and what expanding it means. Integrating formal, non-formal, and informal learning and discussing non-conventional ways of theorizing and organizing, opens new pathways for lifelong learning.
