The PASCAL International Observatory announces its 19th Conference, Towards Lifelong Learning Ecosystems for a Sustainable Future. 

The conference will be held from 10-12 November 2025 at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut, India.

We are pleased to post another Briefing Paper from the PASCAL Observatory, number 31 in the series, this time with a focus on Learning Neighbourhoods. It is likely to be of interest to many working in the fields of adult, lifelong and community learning.

It is with sadness that we note the passing away of former CR&DALL and University of Glasgow colleague, Keith Hammond.

Keith and his contributions to adult and lifelong learning are remembered in this piece by his colleagues Robert Hamilton and Mike Osborne.

On Monday, 24th February, Glasgow celebrated a significant achievement in its journey as a thriving learning city with a special reception marking the receipt of a prestigious UNESCO City of Lifelong Learning Award. The event, hosted by the Rt Hon The Lord Provost, Councillor Jacqueline McClaren took place at Glasgow City Chambers on behalf of Glasgow City Council, with support from the Strategic Support Services Team of Education Services.

We are very pleased to be able to publish the latest Briefing Paper from our sister organisation, the PASCAL Observatory. This is Briefing Paper 30 of the observatory and concerns the role of Aesthetic Education in developing Learning Cities, a key focus of PASCAL's work. Amongst the co-authors are a number of University of Glasgow staff members, current, honorary and emeritus (Jim Conroy, Catherine Lido, Maggie McColl, Rob Mark and Mike Osborne), some also members of CR&DALL.
