Australia  

I am very excited to let you know about this Webinar. It is the first time that our Australian Learning Cities have come together to discuss how their cities and communities address the big issues facing communities around the world (for example, climate crisis, the public health challenges, rapid technological change, changing world of work, inequality, gender equality, peace…) at a local level through a commitment to lifelong learning.  (Canning City Council, Circular Head Council, Melton City Council, Wollongong City Council, and Wyndham City Council).

The opening address will be given by David Atchoarena, Director of the UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning. David will speak about why learning cities are important; and reflect on learning city  achievements and outcomes which were shared at the UNESCO 5^th International Conference on Learning Cities,  and why continued international exchanges of good practice, and why a commitment to lifelong learning principles is so important particularly at this time.

When: Wednesday 4th May @ 4pm AEST; 8am CEST
Duration: 90 minutes
Cost: Free

We are really proud of these learning cities so please show your support by registering and participating in our Webinar. A programme is attached.
