The role of municipalities in education and territorial justice
On 11 May, the Metròpoli Institute presents scientific evidence on the role of local institutions in education and on how to advance an ambitious and innovative local education agenda.
Sala la Cuina a l’espai Francesca Bonnemaison (carrer de Sant Pere Més Baix, 7. Barcelona)
Institut Metròpoli
The session aims to debate and reflect on the gap between growing educational competences and scarce local resources, and to delve into the extreme diversity in the implementation of municipal public policies and the risks and opportunities that this heterogeneity entails.
These are the central themes of issue 68 of the journal Papers, dedicated monographically to this issue, which will be presented during the day. Attendees will receive a free copy of the journal. You can register now!
