Abstract
This chapter considers the vexed issue of why the place where a person is born continues to determine their life chances in the twenty-first Century. Millions of people live without reliable sources of water, food and energy—often in communities that are blighted by disease and tribal, ethnic or religious conflict. To make matters worse, they may have little or no support from local, regional and national agencies, especially where corruption is endemic. Yet, poor communities have learnt to be resourceful and to manage without outside help and it is in response to this question about life chances that this chapter explores how the Global University for Lifelong Learning (GULL) aims to build on traditional knowledge and experience by releasing the potential for self-directed development.
