We are very pleased that the PASCAL Observatory and its Learning Cities Networks, with their European centre hosted by CR&DALL at the University of Glasgow, are partners in the 2021 Global Learning Festival being organised from 8-11 November by the cities of Wyndham and Melton in Australia. Many of the member cities of the LCN are making contributions, including Medellin, Taipei, Wolverhampton and of course Wyndham itself.

This event is set out to explore and contribute to themes surrounding equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). There will be key speakers to bring EDI into focus, brief presentations, and a final EDI panel discussion.

The Low and Middle Income (LMIC) Research Network at the University of Glasgow/College and Social Sciences is pleased to be working with CR&DALL and we warmly invite you to participate in our workshop Doing Knowledge Exchange during the COVID 19 pandemic – What lessons have we learnt?

This briefing paper explores the adapted version of online participatory mapping, the challenges, and benefits, as well as some preliminary findings of engaging in this process.

We aim to showcase that mapping cultural and nonformal education activities represents an opportunity to locate current resources and infrastructure at community level to promote peacebuilding.
