Here at the PASCAL Europe HQ in Glasgow we are working on a paper entitled "Learning for global health in cities - Community resilience and the strengthening of learning systems," in preparation for UIL’s 5th International Conference on Learning Cities in the Republic of Korea.

The ALADIN Online Alert is a joint ALADIN initiative, produced bimonthly by the UIL Library and CDÉACF, with input from additional ALADIN members from all over the world. Its goal is to share recent online and full-text information and documents in the area of adult and lifelong learning.

In this issue we feature 11 current papers on the theme of social capital, chosen by Fabio Sabatini (Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”):
