Valmiera town in north-eastern Latvia has been admitted to the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) that was created to jointly look for solutions to globalization, urbanization, demographic problems and other urban development challenges of the 21st century, writes LETA.

Valmiera is the first Latvian town to join the GNLC, the Latvian National Commission for UNESCO said.


As a GNLC member, Valmiera will be sharing its experience in building inclusive learning environment and education system as well as use of modern technologies in education. It will also promote lifelong learning culture, increase involvement of stakeholders in education management and improve mobilization of resources for education.


The overall aim of the GNLC is to create a global network to mobilize cities and demonstrate how a city's resources can be used most effectively to provide learning opportunities to citizens. The goal is to enrich human potential, promote equality and social justice, maintain social cohesion, and create sustainable prosperity.
