Celebrating and Showcasing Learning Cities and Regions; Learning Festivals .

Session outline: The frequent celebration of learning is an essential element of learning cities and regions. More and more cities are planning and implementing their own learning festivals in order to display the fun and value of learning. This session therefore starts with a few points about rewards and continues by examining how learning festivals can enhance both the incidence of learning and the learning performance of citizens. A series of assignments leads learners towards a greater understanding of the variety of events and purposes in existing learning festivals and moves on to encourage them to plan a festival for their own city or region.
