Commission for International Adult Education, Paper presented at the Commission for International Adult Education (CIAE) International Pre-Conference (64th, Oklahoma City, OK, Nov 15-17, 2015)
This paper is designed to explore Jeonju City's strategies to build a successful lifelong learning city by analyzing the practices for the Lifelong Learning City Movement (LLCM) and then draw the limitations and needed tasks for building a Lifelong Learning City at the local government level. As Cunningham (1993) pointed out, we found some gaps between the ideal and the reality for Jeonju LLCM. Accordingly, in order to promote LLCM at the local government level successfully, the city/county should give residents autonomous rights to solve community problems with their collective efforts. It should make full use of the local resident autonomous facilities and organizations in fostering lifelong learning. It needs to place lifelong educators who plan local lifelong education projects at lifelong learning centers and institutions, offer various lifelong education programs to the citizens, and hold various lifelong education events at lifelong education institutions. In sum, Jeonju City's LLCM should provide learning opportunities for adult learners by strengthening administrative organizational structures with regard to citizen education, and allow residents to play an important role in building local learning communities by voluntarily organizing study groups under the support of the city.
