Why is lifelong learning important? As humans, we are DNA-hard-wired-programmed to learn and to connect. Life transitions are challenging regardless of where you are in your lifecycle. Finding, creating, discovering or re-discovering your life purpose is essential but not always easy. The Lifelong Learning program educates, informs, eases life transitions, supports connection and social interaction, provides discovery, wonder, mental stimulation and promotes exposure to new ideas as well as the understanding and acceptance of others holding different viewpoints than our own.
