Setting the Agenda for the Learning Century

'Learning Partnerships for Regeneration' -
The Learning City Network Conference, 8 March 2000

'Perpetual student' should no longer be considered a term of abuse. Rather, it should be something that every one of us, young and old alike, should aspire to. This was the message that Baroness Blackstone, Minister of State for Education and Employment, urged delegates to the second Learning City Network National Conference to take back to their local communities.

The conference, entitled 'Learning Partnerships for Regeneration', was held on 8 March and sponsored by the Department for Education and Employment (DfEE), the Northern Rock Foundation and Derby City of Learning.
