CORK LEARNING CITY
Lifelong learning is the cornerstone of empowerment, enabling individuals to understand, adapt and shape the world around them. Our rapidly changing world demands that we continue to learn throughout our lives. The Cork Learning Neighbourhoods initiative promotes learning for everyone, at every age, so that people have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that are needed to actively contribute to establishing fairer, more just and sustainable societies. Cork Learning Neighbourhoods Over the past year, Cork Learning Neighbourhoods have participated in a 'Places of Learning’ photographic campaign to celebrate the learning places and spaces within communities that support and encourage people of all ages to access all forms of learning. Cork photographer, Clare Keogh, has visited the Cork Learning Neighbourhoods over the past months to capture the places of learning that empower our neighbourhoods.
