Plenary Session: Strengthening partnerships and networks for building sustainable learning cities

Building a learning city depends on innovations which only take place if there are forward-looking institutions to take the lead in facilitating dialogue and cooperation between all stakeholders, both internally within the city and in learning partnerships with stakeholders in other learning cities. All sectors have a key role to play in learning and education. It is crucial to improve governance and participation of stakeholders by encouraging all partners to provide quality learning opportunities and to make their own unique contribution to a sustainable learning city.

As all organizations and all people are stakeholders in a learning city, the discussion on this Sub-theme will provide the necessary elements to city governments and other stakeholders for building a learning city structure and will introduce them to working mechanisms which involve all stakeholders in a dialogue and consensus which has the potential of leading to sustainable learning cities.
