To further develop the unique perspective that PASCAL International Exchanges (PIE) represents for its contributors and participants, this THEMES section highlights a number of major issues which have evolved since the inception of the project.
Initially, PIE was established with a core set of Stimulus Papers from key contributors representing cities and regions from around the world. This has provided a rich pool of information, experience and innovative ideas that all participating cities have benefitted from. Through this public web space we hope that a wider audience has also found the dialogue an interesting and valuable resource.
For a comprehensive review of the development of the PASCAL International Exchanges project, please see Building Inclusive and Sustainable Learning Cities [1] by Peter Kearns [2], Michael Osborne [3] and Denise Reghenzani-Kearns.
We now invite extended contributions and discussions on the following PIE Themes:
- Cultural policy [4] and cultural institutions as arenas for lifelong learning;
- Responding to social change [5];
- Preserving the environment [6];
- Mobilising civil society [7] to build successful cities;
- ICT and media [8] as vehicles for an inclusive learning society;
- Healthy Cities [9];
- Special Country Papers; [10]
- Sustainable Opportunity Cities [11].
To participate in the PIE project, contribute materials or simply to join in the discussions, please contact Peter Kearns [12].
