COVITA, Horácio Mendes. Aprendizagem ao longo da vida: boas práticas e inserção social. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2002, vol.20, n.3, pp.337-357. ISSN 0870-8231.

Long life learning can be seen as a key element of effective citizenship and employability, becoming a priority for non profit organizations and corporate companies agendas, in searching for a better understanding about new learning contexts and providing solutions near citizens needs and availabilities, recognising those non formal learning contexts as critical players for the emergence and development of skills and competences. In this work we argue and discuss initiatives that can actively promote the organizational and work team best practices identification, transfer and appropriation, as organizational transformation processes, with impacts on productivity, competitiveness and vulnerable people inclusion. We also discuss the knowledge resources centres (KRC), as support platforms and devices to citizens, namely training bodies and training professionals, empowered and committed with long life learning and improvement skills projects, with added value when are focused on citizens with specific vulnerabilities.

Keywords : Long life learning; best practices transfer; local and natural network; information and knowledge society; knowledge resources centre (KRC).
