| Sumario: | Developing new ways of providing information and knowledge for lifelong learning to those on the margins of society with low literacy and access is complicated. Using a case study, this chapter generally demonstrates how smallholder farmers in Kenya engage in opportunities for lifelong learning offered by video animation programs in agriculture in their WhatsApp groups. The definitions of lifelong learning, affordances that technology provides for lifelong learning, and its relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) are offered. Moreover, African philosophies and practices such as Palaver, Harambee, Umuganda, Ubuntu, and Omoluabi and how they relate to and increase lifelong learning are discussed. The successes and challenges of the WhatsApp groups and video animations as sites for lifelong learning are also addressed. |
