Learning Cities 2030

Meeting Notes: Urban and Rural Learning Initiatives - 23 September 2021

The highlight of the 6th meeting of the Connecting Urban and Rural Learning Initiatives Network within PASCAL’s Learning Cities Networks (LCN) on 23 September was a presentation about the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs (IIRA): building the capacity of community leaders and policy makers.

This theme has been given urgency and direction by developments during this period, especially the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, while demographic change with ageing populations, the growing impact of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, and the pace of change, in their cumulative impact have brought this sense of a time of disruption and turbulence with the world out of control.

How will we remember 2021? The year of COVID-19 (variant Delta) and what it meant to oneself, one’s family, community, life, work, even country?. Maybe if we are in educational settings - school, community centre, or higher education institution (HEI) - for its transformative effect on teaching methods, market appeal, loss of income and insecurity of employment?
