Mr John Gialamas was pleased to take part in the roundtable “Learning Cities, Lifelong Learning and Active Citizenship”, held as part of the 12th International Conference for the Promotion of Educational Innovation, organised by EEPEK. Our discussion highlighted the importance of connecting learning with everyday urban life, strengthening collaboration between educational institutions, local organisations and citizens, and creating meaningful opportunities for everyone to participate. Learning cities are shaped not only by institutions and strategies, but above all by people who share knowledge, ideas and experiences and take an active role in their communities. For Larissa, this conversation can be a starting point for further partnerships and initiatives with meaningful social impact.
