2023Lifelong Learning - First Day Cover single stamp

Learning, education and further development is an ongoing process throughout life. National and inter- national organisations and programmes are com- mitted to lifelong learning and promote educational activities beyond conventional vocational training. The interest in certain topics and the desire to remain physically and mentally fit and agile as one grows older are incentives that prompt adults to continue learning. Brain research proves them right. Experts believe that the fact that the ability to concentrate and the capacity to remember declines with age should not be a reason to stop learning. On the con- trary, lifelong learning and dealing with complex and demanding content train serve to train brain activity and mental abilities and contribute to well-being in old age.
