Discover the importance of lifelong learning research and how creativity can be an advantageous skill in an uncertain world.

For CLIC’s first public workshop in Cambridge, the research programme brings together cross-disciplinary academics from Cambridge and Singapore to discuss the topic of lifelong learning in two separate sessions. The first session (4pm – 5:30pm) consists of parallel workshops on early childhood, adolescence, and being an adult in a rapidly changing world; the second more formal session (6pm – 7:30pm) will have CLIC share their scientific findings, short talks, and a panel discussion.

Date: Friday 12 September
Time: 4pm – 7:30pm (BST)
Venue: Robinson College, Crausaz Wordsworth Building (CWB). Adams Rd, Cambridge CB3 9AD
