About the initiative CCL launched a pan-Canadian program to advance the work of the 21st Century Learning Initiative within Canada in September 2005. The purpose of this program was to engage Canadians in dialogue about new ways of thinking about learning systems, based on the research synthesis provided by the 21st Century Learning Initiative. Established in 1995, the Initiative, led by John Abbott, is a network of academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from numerous countries. Their goal is to facilitate the development of new approaches to learning that draw upon the most current insights into the human brain, the functioning of human societies, and learning as a community-wide activity. The Initiative brings together research from cognitive science, neurology, evolutionary biology/psychology, cultural anthropology, as well as pedagogy, conventional psychology and systems theory to encourage people to rethink current education systems and institutions.
