NTN-Learn - a new initiative in research, development and knowledge dissemination about learning environments in Equal

During late spring of 2004, the Swedish ESF Council commissioned the Department for Human Work Sciences at the Luleå University of Technology to co-ordinate a national network on learning environments in Equal.

The network, consisting of around ten development partnerships in Equal, will work together under a project co-coordinator. Co-ordination will also take place with the research network on informal learning at work and in everyday life, Larena, see www.larena.

NTG-Learn has six main central tasks in learning at work, in everyday life and in local communities.

Make learning environments transparent
Deepen reflection and the development of theory concerning learning
Develop methods for documenting informal learning
Expand the conditions and environments for learning
