Sobre
How can cities and regions work together to create inclusive learning environments where young people can explore, develop, and showcase their skills?
Cities of Learning is a web-based platform that maps physical and digital activities in a given area, while offering tools to build personal learning pathways and collect digital Open Badges for demonstrated competencies.
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of the Cities of Learning framework and its potential to enhance youth engagement and development within their municipalities.
The seminar will provide insights into:
- How Cities of Learning aligns with local policy priorities and goals.
- Successful examples of Cities of Learning implementation at the city level.
- The core functionalities of the Cities of Learning platform.
- Key Cities of Learning initiatives and their role in supporting youth work development.
- Examples of Cities of Learning strategies.
The latest blog posts from at least 4 municipalities showcase Cities of Learning work:
Representatives from both Ljubljana and the Dutch Cities of Learning network in the Netherlands will share their experiences, demonstrate how the platform is used to highlight diverse learning opportunities, and discuss the benefits for young people, organisations, and cities.
Discover how Cities of Learning can be a key to strengthening young people’s skills, future opportunities, and engagement in our local communities!
