Under the theme “The Educating City as a Laboratory for Learning, Citizenship, and Social Transformation”, we spotlight the role of cities as genuine educational spaces. Cities are not just the backdrop to our daily lives; they are vast classrooms where we learn, grow, and connect. They foster experiences, generate knowledge, and build meaningful relationships among people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds, creating a citizenship that is responsible, reflective, and committed to the common good.

On the International Day of the Educating City 2024 website, you can explore the diverse range of activities organized by participating cities, demonstrating how this shared commitment translates into action.

This year, we are also proud to feature contributions from experts who share inspiring perspectives on the theme of the day:
