Dialogues with Gensler: Proactive Lifelong Learning

Description

Lifelong learning is a beautiful phrase, full of ambition while remaining conveniently vague. Everyone claims they’re a lifelong learner. But what does that mean, and what does it look like in practice?

The second event in a three-part Dialogues with Gensler series—held March 26, 2015 in Chicago—explores what a proactive approach to lifelong learning might look like in both the workplace and in academia. How do we challenge traditional paths to educational success? And how can we promote spaces in our everyday lives that foster collaboration, discovery, and professional development?

New alliances across educational and corporate entities are catalyzing fresh approaches to learning. These public/private partnerships have sparked a host of methodologies to revamp learning environments, driving workforce development, education theory, and design.
