One of the foci of the work of PASCAL is the field of Learning City Developments is the Faith and Spirituality-based Learning City Network. An overview of its work from 2016-2023 can be found at this link, and we are sure that this will be of wide interest to our subscribers.

The PASCAL Learning Cities Networks (LCN) Faith-based Learning City Development network has been busy this past year, drawing on the tangible resources of a lens grounded in faith and spirituality to build community resilience and work towards renewal in our respective localities during these times of pandemic, protest and increasing climate change.

The Faith / Spirituality-based Learning City Development Network has been growing since our beginnings in 2016. After the PASCAL International Observatory Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, Dr. Rob Mark (PASCAL LCN Director), Dr. Connie Watson (LearnLong Institute of Education and Learning Research), and Dr. Maria Liu Wong (LearnLong / City Seminary of New York) convened the first meeting for interested parties in July 2016 at City Seminary of New York (New York City).

Those interested in joining an international learning and research network on faith, spirituality, and learning cities are welcome to attend a gathering of the PASCAL Learning Cities Network Faith/ Spirituality-based Learning City Development group on September 17, 2017, after the welcome reception for the UNESCO Learning Cities Conference. The time for the meeting is 8:15 PM - 9:30 PM. The exact room details will be sent upon inquiry to Dr. Connie Watson ([email protected]) or Dr.
