Dr Shanti Wong, Learning Community Consultant, reflects on the City of Wyndham and its first Learning Community Strategy (2014-2017). I wrote previously about the City of Melton, the City of Hume and the City of Brimbank and how the idea of fostering learning as a driver for change is spreading throughout Western Metropolitan Melbourne.

The City of Brimbank is another city in Melbourne’s western region that has adopted a learning community/learning city approach.  An evaluation of its first community learning strategy (2010-2013) identified that Brimbank City Council and its strategic partners have been successful in developing a culture of learning in the municipality and this has built a solid foundation for future development.
