Journal of Adult Learning Volume 52, Number 2, July 2012  \nLiving and learning in EcCoWell cities: Discussion paper  \nPeter Kearns  \nPASCAL International Exchanges  \nThese notes and questions have been prepared to promote discussion ofthe ideas set out in the Clarifying paper,‘Living and learning in EcCoWell cities’ to be found on the PASCAL International Exchanges (PIE) website. This Discussion Paper sets ten questions for discussion. We are hoping to encourage discussions of these issues around the world.  \nThese notes and questions have been prepared to promote discussion ofthe ideas set out in the Clarifying paper,‘Living and learning in EcCoWell cities’. The Clarifying paper was prepared to provide a possible framework for further exchanges between cities participating in the PASCAL International Exchanges (PIE) that go in the direction of broader, more holistic and integrated strategies. (The Clarifying paper and information on PIE is available on the website  \n\u003C[www.pie.pascalobservatory.org](www.pie.pascalobservatory.org) >).  \nLiving and learning in EcCoWell cities 393  \nIt is hoped that arrangements will be made for cross-sectoral discussion of the ideas in the Clarifying paper so as to identify areas of common interest and ways in which these shared interests can be strengthened. Feedback from these discussions to PIE will have considerable value for all the cities participating in PIE, and will enable an expanded draft of the Clarifying paper to be prepared to include practical ways of working towards holistic strategies that advance learning, community, health and well-being, environmental and cultural objectives in participating cities in cost-effective ways that add value.  \nIt would be particularly useful if the following questions could be discussed by mixed groups that bring together people with experience across education/learning, health, environment, community building and cultural sectors.  \nA. The convergence and common interest themes (pp. 4–12) The central thesis of the Clarifying Paper is that Learning City, Healthy City and Green City initiatives share certain common interests, so that these aspirations will be progressed best in cities if holistic integrated strategies are adopted that recognise, and build on, areas of common interest.  \nFor example, Learning City initiatives commonly aim to provide learning opportunities for all sections of the community, and so further equity, social justice and community objectives. An empowered and enlightened citizenry will have an enhanced understanding of environmental issues, while the equity strategies of Learning Cities will facilitate progress in addressing the social determinants of health.  \nQuestion 1: What links and connections maybe identified between learning, community, health and well-being, and environmental objectives in your city? To what extent have these connections been forged in policies? What more could be done?  \n394 Peter Kearns  \nQuestion 2: What are the main barriers to more holistic and integrated strategies? How could these be addressed?  \nB. Advancing well-being in the city (pp. 10–11)  \nThe paper asserts that learning, health, community building and cultural policies can each contribute to the well-being of citizens and their families. This impact can be enhanced if policies and strategies are co-ordinated. Central aspects include:  \n• learning encourages social interaction and increases self-esteem and feelings of competency;  \n• benefits from learning in one domain such as health and environment impact on functioning in domains such as family and community;  \n• as better measures of well-being are becoming available, the policy significance of well-being has increased; and  \n• there has been a growing concern in some countries at mental health problems and increased alienation of sections of the population, including many young people.  \nQuestion 3: To what extent are sectoral policies that enhance well-being co-ordina","cbCaihapGBAmXXdn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihapGBAmXXdn","pdf",149834,"English","# Discussion paper questions\n## The convergence and common interest themes\n## Advancing well-being in the city\n## Enhancing place-making\n## Community and cultural policies\n## Preserving the environment","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the discussion paper on EcCoWell cities?\",\"answer\":\"It is prepared to encourage discussion of ideas from a Clarifying paper on living and learning in EcCoWell cities, using ten questions intended for global engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes connect Learning City, Healthy City, and Green City initiatives?\",\"answer\":\"The central thesis is that these initiatives share common interests, so holistic integrated strategies should recognize and build on those areas of convergence.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper suggest advancing wellbeing across city sectors?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that learning, health, community building, and cultural policies can each contribute to wellbeing, and that impact can be strengthened by coordinated, strategic policy alignment.\"}]","Living and learning in EcCoWell cities - Discussion paper | PDF",1792074611,13]
