About Larena

Larena is a Swedish network of researchers on learning in everyday life and at work with the purpose to stimulate interdisciplinary and cross-section discussions. Furthermore, it promotes dialogue and exchange of experience between researchers and practitioners on the research into learning in everyday life and work.

Larena also wants to work for a firmer establishment of research into learning in everyday life and work through jointly applying for funds and initiating programmes as well as through intensive dialogues with the social partners and with other players in this field.

Larena will facilitate exchange of experience and intercommunication between researchers in the field, within and outside Sweden. Special attention should be given to possibilities to support and stimulate doctoral candidates.

Larena's intention is to create moving meeting places for researchers from various disciplines within, primarily three fields: i) education and training, learning based on experience, reflection, and professional skill; ii) life as learning, everyday learning processes, learning environments and learning communities, learning patterns linked to various life phases and changes of life roles, life histories and life maps/biographies and iii) entrepreneurship, growth and innovations as an arena for learning.
