Banatean High School, Otelu Rosu, in Western Romania, Timisoara region, was the focus of a week of activities in October 2023 around the theme of learning cities and regions. The event is part of a wider ‘Schools for Learning Cities’ project involving other cities in Nocera, Umbria (Italy), Alcora (Spain), Platon (Greece) and Modiin (Israel).  The programme included a 2-day conference entitled ‘Log into the Future’ with the key themes being sustainability, digitalisation, and social inclusion.
