BENEFITS OF LIFELONG LEARNING

Firstly – you are never too old to something new.
You are never too young, either.

From extracurriculars in grade school and high school jobs to college internships, hobbies, passions, professions, mentorship, networking, travel, and more – the world is rich with lifelong learning opportunities. Not only can lifelong learning create an ongoing sense of passion and purpose in one’s life; research suggests lifelong learning also has significant health benefits too.

An article from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley states that ‘the more education you have, or the more cognitively stimulating activity you engage in, the lower your risk of Alzheimers.'

While the term ‘learning’ may elicit visions of classrooms and textbooks,
it’s much simpler than that.

Ongoing learning can take many forms – listening to podcasts, attending workshops or webinars, working alongside a mentor, traveling to a new place, going to networking events or even just reading industry publications can help stoke that lifelong learning fire.

Online learning platforms offer a multitude of paid and free ways to upskill – whether just for a personal hobby or to progress in your career. Travel offers incredible opportunities to step outside your comfort zone, challenge you through language barriers, and open up infinite possibilities for meeting new people, broadening your horizons and gaining a completely new perspective for life.

Here at Color & Curiosity, we strive to create excitement around lifelong learning and provide our community with inspiration and resources to seek out new ideas, perspectives, empathy for others, skills and experiences.
