Only Connect is a blog about lifelong learning produced by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL).

Contributors include staff members as well as academics and practitioners working in the field of lifelong learning, with a particular focus on adult education, non-formal education and literacy, and formal education viewed through the lens of lifelong learning.

Readers who would like to write a blog post themselves are welcome to submit relevant proposals any time.

Blog posts should be between 500 and 600 words in length. They should be politically neutral and exploratory – aiming to start conversations rather than offer the final word. They should be accessible to both experts and the general public.

Blog posts should do more than simply share information. Authors should offer a perspective that seeks in some way to advance the agenda under discussion.

If you would like to propose a post or discuss any of the articles on the site, please contact the editor, Lisa Krolak. Please also feel free to contribute comments on any of the posts.
