Abstract:
The UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities promotes lifelong learning policies that recall the idea of the learning society found in the Faure Report and the Delors Report. However, in recent years, learning cities have also included in their programs economic objectives and above all objectives oriented towards "employability", in order to promote greater regional growth and at the same time solve environmental and work-related problems. Considering these premises, the general purpose of this contribution will be to carry out a critical analysis of how learning cities, at an international level, have so far conceptualized lifelong learning on the basis of their idea of progress. Furthermore, what is the role of adult education and what epistemological dimensions underlie learning cities? What is the role of universities and public and social pedagogy in the development of learning cities according to a post-humanist logic?
