Abstract
This study analyses the theoretical and methodological foundations of lifelong learning policy in European Union countries and summarises the leading approaches to organising lifelong learning in the context of society’s digital transformation. The content and essence of the concept of lifelong learning as a key factor in the development of human capital, enhancing the competitiveness of the economy and ensuring the social integration of citizens are explored. The relevance of the study stems from the need to modernise national education systems in the context of globalisation challenges, dynamic changes in the labour market and the growing role of knowledge as a strategic resource for development. Of particular importance is the study of European experience in shaping lifelong learning policy with a view to adapting it to the Ukrainian educational landscape. The aim of this article is to examine the characteristics of the formulation and implementation of lifelong learning policy in EU countries. The study found that lifelong learning policy in the EU is based on the principles of accessibility, flexibility, inclusivity and competence-based orientation. It is implemented through the development of a digital learning environment, the introduction of innovative pedagogical approaches, support for non-formal education and the creation of conditions for individual learning pathways
