Lifelong Learning (LLL) strategies, considered in European Union to have the potential to "increase employability, economic growth, social inclusion and adaptation of skills", are being progressively incorporated and institutionalised in the Greek educational system. On the other hand, new programmes of post-graduate studies aiming specifically at mature students and focusing entirely or partially on LLL have been proliferated in the last 4 years. This paper discusses aspect of the dialogue developed in the framework of the Msc "Gender, New Educational and Working Environments in the Information Society" offered by the University of the Aegean (Rhodes, Greece), as it is reflected on a) various discussion fora, and b) chatting between Msc students.
