The Chairman of the PASCAL Governing Board, Dr Josef Konvitz, issued the following statement today on the inauguration of the new program of Learning Cities Networks, a PASCAL Learning Cities 2020 project:

PASCAL Welcomes Addis Ababa to PIE

The PIE stimulus paper on Addis Ababa, written by Professor Ezana  Amdework, Chair of the Department of Sociology, Addis Ababa University, is the fifth stimulus paper on African cities and joins stimulus papers for Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Dakar, and Gaborone. In their cumulative impact they provide broad insights into the critical challenge of building sustainable learning cities in Africa.

PASCAL Welcomes Shanghai to PIE

The PIE stimulus paper on Shanghai by Professor Jian Huang (School of Education Science, East China Normal University) is appropriately titled Towards a Learning Society Experience and Reflections from Shanghai. The paper traces steps taken by Shanghai from 1999 to set in place a policy framework for a learning society linked to long term planning for education reform.

Major events for 2013 relevant to the aspirations of PASCAL International Exchanges

Hullo colleagues,

I am contacting you to advise you of some major events that will occur in 2013 relevant to the aspirations of the PASCAL International Exchanges. In their totality, this could be a big year for progressing ideas about good cities that are inclusive, build community and identity, and enhance the quality of life of residents. My hope is that PIE can make a significant contribution.
