Learning Cities and the SDGs: A Guide to ActionX

This Guide to Action is for mainstreaming lifelong learning as a key driver to achieve the 17 SDGs. The Guide highlights concrete approaches to the development of green and healthy learning cities, equitable and inclusive learning cities, and decent work and entrepreneurship in learning cities.

It includes examples of good practice, which demonstrate the diversity of initiatives and reflect the manifold contexts and development stages in which cities operate. The guiding questions highlight some important issues related to the respective thematic areas. Along with a selection of related Key Features of Learning Cities and Sustainable Development Goals, this can serve cities as a basic tool to self-assess their ongoing activities and define their potential need for action.

The document is available for download in English [2], French [3], Russian [4], Spanish, [5]Arabic [6], and Chinese [7].

SDG s Guide

This is an excellent publication which shows a pathway to developing learning cities. A lot of work and thinking has been carried out. Complementary to this there are the results of the many European Commission projects we carried out in the years from 1998 to 2012. They comprise helpful diagrams, case studies, lessons that can be used by educators, and a whole lot more. They can be found in two sites - eurolocal.info and the more recent longlearn.info. They are invaluable for educating city leaders, educators, and even citizens in the transition to a learning city.
