Internationalising Learning City Networks

Session outline: A number of Learning City Networks already exist. For example in the UK and Sweden and in Victoria Australia there are thriving and active learning city networks acting with the support of government. Some of the international networks that have existed for some time are now attaching a learning city strand to their work. However, while there are networks specific established for linking learning cities, these offer little beyond an annual conference get-together of members. This session therefore suggests how creative learning city networks can push forward the frontiers of what is possible and, through a series of assignments and exercises, enhances the learners’ vision of the why, what, when, where, who and how of international networks.
