Finish Ideas worth spreadingOur lifelong-lifewide journey of personal development There are few things more interesting ot Inspiring than someone sharing ay their life story and through that story coming to learn how they came to be the person they are, It isa privilege to witness how: the pathways that people have taken through their life emerges from the experiences that make up the'r life We have both lifelong (the journey) and lifewide (the multiple and varied places and situations we occupy) dimensions to our life While our lifelong journay is the synthesis of our life it is the lifewide dimension that we experience every day of our lives and provides the stepping stone to our future, Thase two dimensions connect our thoughts and feelings. our relationships, decisions and actions, and ali that we achiave through space and time. It is the idee of ‘litewideness* and its educational value while studants are studying in higher education, that SCEPTrE’s balieves is worth spreading through the TED way of disseminating ideas Lifewideness is a simple idea. It recognises that most people, no matter what their age ot circumstances, simultaneously inhabit @ number of different spaces - like work or education, running a home, being a member of a family, being involved in a dub or society, travelling and taking holidays and looking after their own wellbeing mentally, physically and spiritually We live out our lives in these different spaces and we have the freedom to chooe which spaces we want to occupy. In these spaces we make decisions about what to be involved in we meet and interact with different people, have different sorts of relationships, adopt different roles and identities, and think, behave and communicate in different ways. In these different spaces we encounter different sorts of challences and problems, seize or miss opportunities, and aspire to live and achieve our ambitions. It is in these spaces that we create the meaning that is our lives. "Between stimulus and response thare is a space. In the space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In thosa choices lie our growth and our happiness." Stephen Covey The 8th Habit trom Effectiveness to Greatness, 2004 pa Lifewide education explicitly recognises that people lean and develop through their Iifemide experiences. It both promotes and values these forms of leatning and personal development. By reframing our perception of what counts as leaming and perional development in highat education, and developing the means to recognize end value the leaning and development gained in a leatnar's lifewide experi ences, universities could enable learners to develop a deeper appreciation of how, whet, when and why they are learning in the different parts of their lives Heightened seltawareness is likely to help them become mote effective at leatning through their own experiences and this should be an assential outcome of any educational system that prepares people for the challenges of a complex, uncertain and ever changing world. SCEPTE, in collaboration with scholars, researchers, teachers, students and professionals from fields other than educetion, has tried to develop and apply the ideas of lifewide learning, lifewide development and lifewide education and we are finalising a book which consclidates this work, We felt that it would be both a fitting way to end our five year project and help disseminate our ideas further, to use the wonderful TED approach and we ate grateful to TED for granting us our TED licence We are very fortunate to have found four people who are willing to turn our abstract ideas into real life stories and we hope that their stories will inspire others to appreciate even more the rich potential of the ‘opportunities they have across their lives for making a difference to themselves and te others, Professor Norman Jackson Director SCEPTrE Surrey Centre tor Excellence in Professional Training and Education About TED www. ted.com TED began in 1984 a a California-based conference devoted to the converging fields of Technology, Entertainment and Design (hence its name). Over the years, the scope has broadened and the ambition level constantly raised. We now seek to bring together the world's leading thinkers and doers, no matter what field of endeavour they are working in. Ideas worth spreadingAll knowledge is connected and TED hos become the place where you can discover leading edge thinking in numerous fields, and how this relates to your own life and work For many attendees, the result is: delicious, unexpected connections; axtraordinaly insights; powerful inspiration.
