Our hosts were Pat and Benvon Parfrey who organised what can only be described as an outstanding and memorable trip, with the strong support of their UCC colleagues in St John’s, Brendan Barrett, John Harnett and Eilish Walsh. The meeting started officially on Wednesday August 26th with the Scientific Session at St. John’s Hospital, where the Hospital and Medical School of Memorial University are combined. Coming from the cramped conditions in CUH, the layout of the hospital with loads of car parking and plenty room for expansion, one was jealous of the feeling of space. The meeting included local and Irish speakers on a variety of topics. We started with a talk by Adrian Honan on the organisation and running of a Primary Care Centre by the Primary Care Team in Portarlington.

  • Designing and Implementing Neighborhoods of Learning in Cork’S Unesco Learning City Project
    DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING NEIGHBORHOODS OF LEARNING IN CORK’S UNESCO LEARNING CITY PROJECT Séamus Ó Tuama, Ph.D.1 Siobhán O’Sullivan, Ph.D.2 ABSTRACT: Cork, the Republic of Ireland’s second most populous city, is one of 12 UNESCO Learning Cities globally. Becoming a learning city requires a sophisticated audit of education, learning and other socio-economic indicators. It also demands that cities become proactively engaged in delivering to the objectives set by the Beijing Declaration on Building Learning Cities which was adopted at the first UNESCO International Conference on Learning Cities in Beijing (2013) and the Mexico City Statement on Sustainable Learning Cities from the second conference in Mexico City (2015). The UNESCO learning city approach lays heavy emphasis on lifelong learning and social inclusion. In addressing these two concerns Cork city is piloting the development of two Learning Neighborhoods. The pilots are a collaboration between the City Council, University College Cork and Cork Education and Training Board who will work with the learning and education organizations and residents in each area to promote, acknowledge and show case active local lifelong learning. This paper looks at the context and design of these Learning Neighborhoods. Keywords: Learning City, Neighborhood Learning, UNESCO, Cork Cork: A UNESCO Learning City Cork City was granted the UNESCO Learning City Award at the second UNESCO International Conference on Learning Cities in Mexico City in September 2015. A total of twelve cities were granted the award viz. Melton (Australia), Sorocaba (Brazil), Beijing (China), Bahir Dar (Ethiopia), Espoo (Finland), Cork (Ireland), Amman (Jordan), Mexico City (Mexico), Ybycuí (Paraguay), Balanga (Philippines), Namyangju (Republic of Korea) and Swansea (United Kingdom).
