Learning for Change and Innovation World Congress 2016

The Global Centre for Work Applied Learning and ALARA (now Action Learning, Action Research Association Ltd) presented the

Learning for Change and Innovation World Congress

Monday 7th to Wednesday 9th November 2016

Adelaide, South Australia

After successful Conferences in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Global Centre for Work-Applied Learning (GCWAL) joined with ALARA to present the 2016 Learning for Change and Innovation World Congress.

This Learning for Change and Innovation World Congress incorporated the ALARA 2016 Australasian Conference, and brought together the distinctiveness of both GCWAL and ALARA in Action Learning and Action Research. It also extended GCWAL's theme of learning for change in the workplace to learning for change in education, health and communities, while also incorporating the vital search for innovation.

There were four streams:

  • Work-Applied Learning for Change and Innovation
  • Learning in the Health Sector
  • Learning in the Education Sector
  • Learning in Communities
