We are very pleased that Briefing Paper 10 by Peter Kearns is now available in Korean. The paper revisits PASCAL's EcCOWell model developing it into EcCoWell 2. This topic will for sure be one of the features of the next PASCAL conference in Suwon, Korea in from 30 August to 1 September 2018. Thanks to YunAh Park, a student on our Erasmus Mundus Masters in Adult Education for Social Change for translating this paper.
This paper reviews the experience of the EcCoWell concept which was developed by PASCAL in 2012 as an approach to holistic and integrated development of learning cities.
The conclusions and recommendations of the paper were approved by the PASCAL Board in November 2017 and are now serving as the basis for implementing EcCoWell 2 as a refinement of the EcCoWell concept relevant to progressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals in towns and cities.
PASCAL developed the EcCoWell concept in 2012 as an approach to holistic and integrated development in learning cities. Whilst the concept integrates environment, health and well-being, economy, and community with lifelong learning, the core of EcCoWell development up to now has focussed on the integration of health, learning, and environment with community building. The cities of Cork and Taipei have been leaders in applying EcCoWell concepts in their development.
