Dr Shanti Wong, Learning Community Consultant, reflects on the City of Wyndham and its first Learning Community Strategy (2014-2017). I wrote previously about the City of Melton, the City of Hume and the City of Brimbank and how the idea of fostering learning as a driver for change is spreading throughout Western Metropolitan Melbourne.

It is interesting to note that the themes in the Wyndham strategy are similar to that of neighbouring cities, that is:

• developing a culture of lifelong learning;
• focus on programs for the life-stages (early years, school years, young adults, adults and older adults); and
• an evaluation strategy.
