PALLACE Case Study 1: International schools projects as Learning City and Community stimulators

Session outline: So far in this chapter we have studied the general issues around international cooperation and the benefits to be obtained from it. We have also looked at a Case Study from Kent. This session homes in on international cooperation at the schools level. It comprises a series of assignments and exercises describing how international projects can give new insights and impetus to help stimulate local action (think globally, act locally) and uses examples from the PALLACE project. It continues by discussing what our current generation of schoolchildren – the future generations of adults - have to contribute to the construction of learning cities and regions, why it is both important and beneficial and ends with the development of a tool to improve that process.
