Abstract(s)
The development of a knowledge-based society needs a technological infrastructure and a
workforce with the necessary knowledge and competences, supported by a well-structured initial
education and a continuous learning program, available to all citizens, including those who did
not have the opportunity to attend Higher Education (HE) when they were younger. We recognize
that these students may be rich in experience but they also have some difficulties in adapting to
the pedagogical approaches of learning and teaching. Furthermore, their attitudes and problems
are not necessarily the same as those of traditional students but they are still expected to fit into
educational institutions designed for younger students. The project LIHE – Learning in Higher
Education aimed to improve the learning experience and environment of adults, particularly
non-traditional adults as well as to promote lifelong learning in HE, within a European dimension.
In this paper we will present this project together with some of the results.
