From the Millennium (2000-2015) to the Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030): nine syllables in three.

Submitted by Hervey Gibson on June 7, 2016 - 06:18

In blazingly wonderful weather, the very successful 13th PASCAL Conference in Glasgow was brought to a close by Dr Peter Kearns, who articulated the proceedings and the consensus that delegates had found.  The PASCAL Glasgow Statement on Innovation in Building Sustainable Learning Cities describes the steps that PASCAL will take over the next two years, the networks it will work through, and the people, institutions and initiatives PASCAL will be allied with.  These learning plans express an appetite for innovation which characterizes PASCAL’s practical contribution, and they are set in the moral context of global social cohesion which continues to inspire PASCAL’s members.
