What is a UNESCO Global Learning City?
Wakefield Council has pledged to provide lifelong learning opportunities for residents. We are bringing communities together. And uniting people under the banner of ‘Freedom Through Learning’.
The UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities connects cities across the world. By sharing ideas and successes we will deliver a fair, inclusive education system. This will lead to improved job opportunities. Providing children with the best possible start in life.
UNESCO recognises that different cities face unique barriers and challenges to learning. And unites members to work together. This supports the development of skills at all levels, and for all ages.
Wakefield celebrates its contribution to art, culture, and commitment to lifelong learning.
Wakefield Council is improving life opportunities for all residents. These new international partnerships will help build a learning city for the future.
