Lifelong learning graduates empowered by their achievements

In April 2009, a formal ceremony at the Ismaili Centre in London saw the graduation of 74 learners from the Lifelong Learning

Programme.

The idea that learning extends from the cradle to the grave underpins the philosophy of the Lifelong Learning Programme. Five-hundred-twenty learners from various countries across Europe, representing a spectrum of ages, educational levels, and professions, have participated in the workshop that acts as the springboard to the programme.
