The three specific dimensions of knowledge society are:

1. The political dimension

2. The operational dimension

3. The dimension related to the development of Human Beings

The political dimension implies developing a “learning culture” & “learning spaces” in civil society and in a work place.

    The operational dimension implies all players in the lifelong learning process (institutions, NGO's, companies, trade- unions, education and training authorities, practitioners, municipalities, local communities, museums,. . .) in order to build strategic lifelong learning partnerships and networks to analyze learning requirements and remove barriers to access to learning.

    The dimension related to the development of human beings is the heart of the matter, since it implies a focus on people and citizens rather than abstract terms, such as “human resources” or “end-users.”
