"Cities must become learning spaces beyond the boundaries of classrooms and reaching the streets," says Council Member Antonio Mecca
Citizens will present a motion in the July plenary session that has to do with education, since it proposes adhesion to the International Association of Educating Cities.
Antonio Meca explains that "being an Educating City means committing to fulfill the educating function as well as exercising other functions such as economic, political, social or service provision, it means betting on the formation, promotion and development of every person who live in it and do it throughout his life. "
The International Association of Educating Cities (IAEC), founded in 1994, is a non-profit association, constituted as a permanent structure of collaboration among local governments committed to the Charter of Educating Cities, which is the roadmap for cities that they make it up
The association is made up of 488 cities in 37 countries:
Europe: 381 cities in 14 countries.
America: 63 cities in 12 countries.
Africa: 8 cities in 5 countries.
Asia-Pacific: 29 cities in 6 countries.
Of the 198 cities adhered to Spain, are in our autonomous community of Murcia, Molina de Segura, Cieza and Alhama de Murcia.
"The common goal of the educating cities is to work together on projects and activities to make our cities learning spaces, where education transcends the boundaries of the classrooms and reaches the streets," says Councilman.
Being an Educating City and forming part of the state network of educating cities means that the City of Lorca assumes the commitment to promote the educating function, subscribing to the values ​​included in the charter, and incorporating education as a means and way towards the achievement of a more cultured, more supportive and freer citizenship.
