Faith and Spirituality-based Learning City Development

Faith-based Learning City DevelopmentKEY AIM: Faith and spirituality-based learning city development for a more aware and resilient world in fostering global consciousness and citizenship identifies the many issues that impact on our spirituality, empathy, meaning, values and life experience. We can bring together individuals and groups in respect, care, compassion and positive action for others, the planet and a higher order.

Various spiritual practices can be explored and shared. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals also figure in response to the conflict and crises in the world today. Education, learning and prayer can contribute much to this network and add in a commitment to global stewardship and healing.

Therefore the goal of this Network is to gather interested scholars and practitioners around the intersections of faith, spirituality and learning cities.
