4. Lifelong Learning: A European Strategy Lifelong Learning … • as a middle and long-termed competitive factor (Lisbon Strategy) • indicates a comprehensivealignment of learning opportunities and support structures • has to be an overarching structural principal of the education system in a whole • is a growing demand at every single person • has to be realised on the regional level.

8. Paradigm Shift • from an institutional to a strict learner’s and learner and learning process perspective • new overall and comprehensive structural principles of the education system • organised as an overarching regional-local social innovation process • improving, changing, and creating new social practices concerning social roles, relations, norms and regulations, • going beyond existing borders and pure networking • following the aim of a strict user focus instead of the traditional institutional focus.

9. What Means Learner Perspective? • the individual personality of a learner and the learning process starting and reference point for every learning offer, • usable when and where needed, fulfilling specific learner needs, taking into account and accepting formal, non-formal and informal competences, supporting educational and professional transmissions • oriented at four guiding dimensions of LLL for adults • a comprehensive understanding of learning • the learners environment • the learners biography • the adult learner personality

10. LLL as a Holistic Social Innovation Process • LLL has to be seen as a social innovation process going beyond a systemic perspective and traditional innovation concepts (following Howaldt 2010), characterized by • coordination and mediation between various different groups of stakeholders, • interdisciplinarity, heterogeneity, recursivity and reflectivity of the processes of implementation • emphasis on historical, cultural and organisational preconditions, • increased involvement of users/citizens in processes of “co-development”, • systemic perspective on innovation optimising research, development, production and marketing simultaneously in an interactive process, • a kind of “hybridization” at the boundary between society (practitioners/users) and science (experts/developers).

12. HESSENCAMPUS: Regional-local Coordination of Lifelong Learning • HESSENCAMPUS: initiated by the Ministry of Culture in the German federal state of Hessen in 2006 in order to further develop adult education • through a binding cooperation of mainly public educational institutions • in a new and innovative regional-local partnership and structure („HESSENCAMPUS“ ) • and under different local framework conditions . • HESSENCAMPUS is based • on public responsibility for education of the Land Hessen and its local authorities • regional demands, potentials and actors • HESSENCAMPUS follows the basic principle of a „development in partnership“ • cooperating “at eye level” and not by top-down orders • based on an agreement signed by all players involved • providing a common ground and a cautious formulated framework of development aims and procedures.

13. 4 I Process of Social Innovations (Hochgerner) • Idea: • quantitative and qualitative improvement of Lifelong Learning for adult people • LLL has to be improved on the regional-local level in partnership • Intervention: • funding, scientific support, core coordination structures, normative settings (4 dimensions of LLL, 3 integration levels), common framework • Implementation: • public responsibility, open innovation process, development in partnership, new structures • Impact: • learners: improvement of quantitative and qualitative participation, flexible learning opportunities along the learning pathways (including all types of learning) • regions: education and human resources as a regional-local key competitive factor • institutions involved: professionalization, efficiency and effectiveness

14. Implementation:Process Oriented Innovation (Open Social Innovation) The implementation process of HESSENCAMPUS is characterised by • a quick start with experiments and trials within a „corridor of possible developments“ • new possibilities to get hold of and mobilise potential learners • an increased potential for education to become a “location factor” for integrated regional-local development • facilitating integrational developments • by connecting institutions which used to be strictly separated, • by creating synergies in spending resources, and • by addressing the employees’ professional competences, creativity, and willingness to cooperate

21. HESSENCAMPUS as a Comprehensive Approach HESSENCAMPUS as a „holistic interpretation of innovation“ impacts (Hochgerner 2011): • all types of innovation: products, processes, marketing, organisation, roles, relations, norms, values • all functional systems: economy, culture, politics, law • all intervention levels: • micro level: behaviour of learners • meso level: structural and institutional changes • macro level: legislative framework, Lifelong Learning System • integrative and binding cooperation going beyond networking: more than complementary, subsidiary or supporting cooperation • setting of a new cultural framework: common orientations, objectives and their practical implementation

22. Social Innovation Process for Regional Lifelong Learning • HESSENCAMPUS • is a system changing approach and • a social innovation process • in correspondence to the regional-local development and • overarching cross-regional support and legislation structures • within a process of collective creation (Crozier/Friedberg 1993) this social innovation process finds its challenges and success within • binding structures going beyond pure networking (accepted from all the involved actors), (beyond law, not yet reflected by law) with increased demands for the organisational model and the management of this improved networking (Howaldt 2010): • heterogeneous structures, depending on the demands and framework of the local areas, • different, heterogeneous innovation processes at the local level • but a common framework and overarching support structure and some common product developments
