Fostering 21st Century Learning in cities and regions: Three More Key Issues

Session outline: There are many steps to be taken in the creation of learning cities and regions and many issues around each. This session deals with the remaining three important aspects described in the book ‘Learning Cities, Learning Regions, Learning Communities’ viz learning and the place of culture and heritage, the advantages of celebrating learning visibly and frequently, and of course the key issue of resources. Exercises and assignments will draw out the creativity of learners and bring them to a higher level of theoretical and practical understanding on each of these aspects, enabling them eventually to make a presentation to senior management.

NB: Because this session deals with more than one issue it is longer than most – each issue may be dealt with separately over a period of a half-hour to an hour depending on the degree of discussion generated. Where there is another session that treats the subject matter in greater detail it is identified in the text.
