Family Learning: Families as Learning City/Region Stakeholders

Session outline: Families are the well-springs of attitudes, values, outlooks, manners, mindsets, standards, morals, and ideals. As such they are arguably the most important stakeholders in the city or region. This lesson therefore explores the role of the family and changing perceptions of the family in a changing city, and what can be done to help families play a fuller role in the building up of their own cities and regions as learning cities and regions. Through a series of assignments and exercises, learners will appreciate the issues, experience good practice and contribute also their own ideas and knowledge on the various roles and responsibilities of families in cities and regions.
