– Shift from full- to part-time employment; economic need for mobility and flexibility, ‘modern nomads’, permanent mobility;
– Shift from a industrial to an Information and Knowledge Society;
– Individualised/atomised societies, flexible lifestyles and changing biographies, from individuals to ‘multi-viduals’; super-diversity; identity and threat of difference;
– Dissolving traditional family structures, single households, social isolation of the elderly etc;
– Urbanisation;
– Digitalisation, Digital Natives vs Immigrants, Digital Residents vs Visitors, Digital Gaps, New Millenium Learners, Big Data and Big Brother(s);
– Changing Learning: from transmissive to facilitated, co-created, co-owned.
• The Knowledge (or Learning) Society is characterised by an organic link between the different contexts of learning: • Individual learning; • Community learning; • Organisational learning; • Territorial learning
(i.e. learning cities and regions). • The Industrial Society was
focused on training (assimilation): • the era of mass media was

Consequences
– The platform should allow for effective knowledge sharing;
– So the information section of DISCUSS will hold information and news compiled from relevant projects and present them in a common format;
– The platform should offer different ways of collaboration;
– Especially thematic working groups should be offered to allow every member to interact at a personal level, real-time translation to handle language problems and cloud-based wikis allowing for incremental elaboration of a topic.
– In addition it should be possible to personalise the workspace of a community.
– Technical infrastructure will be maintained and continuously updated by the German project partners. DISCUSS Community Platform runs on managed servers, which allows to share server capacities with already existing platforms, such as the German Network for Creative Industries;
– Features of the DISCUSS Community Platform will be expanded step by step e.g. e.g. until the end of 2016 Access Control List (ACL) functionality will be fully implemented i.e. community managers have full control who can access different features on the backend and frontend, and associate different features with different profile types;
– DISCUSS as ‘One-Stop-Shop’ for collaboration, dissemination, exploitation and sustainability building.
– DISCUSS Community Platform will be managed and further developed by a range of project partners and actors, * who on one hand are interested in continuing the previous discussions and collaborations on lifelong learning; * while on the other would be interested in linking their future projects with the community and use the platform features in the course of those projects, such as for project management of e.g. Erasmus+ or H2020 projects and large scale collaborations within multidisciplinary, European and national research networks.
