We are pleased to make available a PDF copy of a PowerPoint presentation on the topic, ‘Functional Literacy of First Stage Researchers in Russia and the UK: Summary and Discussion of the Main Research Findings’, given with the CR&DALL Seminar Series on October 10th, 2017 by Assoc. Prof., Dr. Oksana Chigisheva and Senior Lecturer Elena Soltovets, Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

Building on the work of Kennedy, Tomlinson and Dearing, David Blunkett’s Preface to The Learning Age was the high water mark of lifelong learning policy in England.  Twenty years after its publication, this conference reviews the initiatives that flowed from it and asks what prospects now for lifelong learning.

Keynote speakers: David Blunkett (via video), John Field, Lorna Unwin, Andy Westwood, Tom Schuller, Leisha Fullick and Geoff Layer.
