Final Documents of the International Congress of Educating Cities (1st, Barcelona, Spain, November 26-30, 1990).
Barcelona Council (Spain).
The First International Congress of Educating Cities in Barcelona (Spain) considered education in its broadest sense, beyond the school system. An introduction by P. Figueras Bellot is provided. The following are the English translations of the Spanish titles of the presentations given by representatives of international and government organizations: (1) "UNESCO" (United Nations Economic and Social Council) (F. Marti Ambel); (2) "The European Council" (A. Siurana Zaragoza); (3) "The Spanish Ministry of Education and Science" (E. Angulo Aramburu); (4) "The Department of Education of Catalonia" (S. Blasi Gutierrez); and (5) "The City of Goteburg" (host for the next conference) (M. Fagberg). Attachments include greetings from J. Zapasnik of the International Union of Local Authorities and P. Mauroy of the Federation Mondiale des Cites Unies and Villes Jumelees. Lectures presented include the following: (1) "Why We Talk about the Educating City" (P. Maragall); (2) "The City as a 'Scene'" (S. Sassen); (3) "The Educating Resources of the City" (F. Alfieri); and (4) "Multiculturalism in the City" (R. Castro). The final report of the conference workshops is included, along with the Declaration of Barcelona, a Charter of Educating Cities, that defines the educating city as one that can offer its entire potential, can be understood by all citizens, and can teach its children and young people to understand it.
