Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world
around us, provide us with more and better opportunities and
improve our quality of life.
Perhaps the most important life skill is the ability and
willingness to learn. By learning new skills, we increase our
understanding of the world around us and equip ourselves with the
tools we need to live a more productive and fulfilling life,
finding ways to cope with the challenges that life, inevitably,
throws at us.
Most people associate learning with formal education at school,
college, university etc. We are all told, from an early age, that
we should ‘get a good education’. Generally speaking it is true
that a formal education and the resulting qualifications are
important. Education may maximize our potential to find better,
more satisfying jobs, earn more and, perhaps, become more
successful in our chosen career.
However, ‘schooling’ is only one type of learning. There are many
other opportunities to further your knowledge and develop the
skills you need throughout life. Knowledge can be acquired and
skill-sets developed anywhere – learning is unavoidable and
happens all the time. However, lifelong learning is about
creating and maintaining a positive attitude to learning both for
personal and professional development. Lifelong learners are
motivated to learn and develop because they want to: it is a
deliberate and voluntary act.
This learning consists of creating and maintaining an interest
and dedication both for personal and professional development,
supported by the creation of areas of transformation where it is
formed in new humanized and humanizing values, in new modes of
relationship and behavior that dismantle the configuration that
the economic-social-political-cultural superstructure has
installed us leading us to a life of automatic and dehumanized
consumption.

Certificated Students Profile
Upon completion of the programs of the Human Development Academy
- ADH skills, qualities and attitudes are possessed which are
considered essential to meet current labor demand, harmonious
coexistence, and personal development needs. Among others these
skills are: positive attitude, communication, teamwork,
self-management, willingness to learn, thinking skills and
resilience.
As the ADH studies proceed, poorly developed skills in the
traditional education are promoted, strengthening competencies
that allow for: unfolding of the inner being, efficient
management of knowledge: learning to learn and know; thinking
more creatively, improving coexistence, facilitating changes and
better performance in any field and at any stage of life.
Training of human potential teaches the student to direct their
actions towards the activation of essential aspects of the
personality that make living in today's world easier.
The general competencies and specific skills developed during the
ADH study programs are described below.
