Learning Communities. Essential Components of Learning Cities and Regions.

Session outline: This session distinguishes learning communities from learning societies, learning cities and learning regions. The last 3 will contain many of the first. It covers both communities of interest and small geographical communities. The main vehicle of learning is two distinctive and innovative case studies from different parts of the world from which examples of good practice locally can be extrapolated. Learners carry out brainstorms and assignments which bring them to an understanding of the vast range of activities in which learning communities involve themselves.
