The PASCAL seminar, “Making Learning Happen,” was well-attended by some 30 delegates from across Europe on 4 May 2018.  Thanks to kind generosity of LLAKEs (http://www.llakes.ac.uk) and its head, Professor Andy Green, we convened in a room at the UCL Institute of Education.  The seminar provided an opportunity for associates and key contacts - new faces and old friends - to discuss learning in cities and metro-regions and their links to rural hinterlands, and to shape future PASCAL work in Europe.

The European University Continuing Education ( EUCEN) network has launched a consultation in Brussels on how to integrate cultural diversity into higher education. Rob Mark, PASCAL Learning Cities Coordinator, was invited to join a group of experts from 18 countries to discuss issues raised in two preliminary reports.
