On Thursday 30 September 2021, Wyndham City Council in Melbourne, Australia was recognised for their commitment to lifelong learning by the Alliance for Asia-Pacific Learning Cities (APLC [1]).
APLC is a coalition of cities with policies and plans for the growth of global learning cities under the motto of promoting lifelong learning in the region. APLC is open to Asia-Pacific countries that want to implement the concept of learning cities in their policies, its focus is on strengthening cooperation among all countries in the Asia-Pacific region. http://aplc-one.org/ [1]
An Expert Advisory Committee reviewed Wyndham’s lifelong learning achievements and have inducted Wyndham into the Alliance’s Hall of Fame, acknowledging future oriented cities with models of learning programs that may benefit other member cities.
Wyndham joins four Korean cities and Okayama (Japan), Kashan (Iran), and Chiang Rai (Thailand) as the inaugural Hall of Fame inductees. This is a great testament to the last 11 years of work that has been led by Wyndham's Libraries and Learning Cities team and the love of learning that is so evident in the Wyndham community.
