-does new York have a top 10 learning village to connect to our mapmaking and worldwide search?
Join our treasure hunt and map of the global top 10 learning villages
-------------------
typical conversation
(terminology : as well as vilages in their own right, research on cities suggests that a learning village is one of 5 leading components that seem to be essential for collaboration knowledge city:
the other 4-5 (in detail) roughly summarised are:
1 authority to put global village commonwealth and sustainability investment above short-term economics , collaboration (focues on the greatest innovations humanity is dying out for) as a higher order value multiplier than competition alone now that we are in a highly connected world with 7 waves due to pass through every society before 2024 uptilting or downtilting us all -example ecosaintjames - you may call me biassed as a Scot but I do believe the largest Kingdom accidentally ruled the last half century by women (Queen Elizabeth, Her Mother, Lady Di radiates such authority especially with the Queens courageous end of 2005 broadcast to the commonwealth : is globalisation turning humanity on itself?; and buoyed by incredibly geberous ex-commonwealth branches active in London- including the world's leading photosynthsesis architects network from Canada, the world's deepest medical and youth cultural reconciliation networks from Australia, and the most extraordinary examples of community-up being as important as top down set by alumni of Gandhi's India
*2 global broadcasting scale with which deep lessons can be interconnected -again the British as owners of the world's largest public broadcasters could exemplify a world service role but not if short-term politicians or their global commerce lobbyists steal the mediation waves
*3 Large halls and open spaces and capabilities for thousands to join global vilage dialogues and emerge with the peoples project experiments to specific contextual crises.
*4 Crosscultural collaboration hubs where anyone can raise a community-up project idea; and see if anyone else already is developing solutuions either within the city or across the world
*5 And deeper centres of gravity of lifelong learning (family values, lifetime curricula, co-mentoring training that is as virtual as it needs to be real) which Espoo
I said 4.5 because from my one visit to the Espo region I feel it straddles 4 and 5 - and may be both. Jolly good for Finland to find such space for both. Many cities find it hard to recover enough socila space for just one of tehse collaborations.
so who else is in the top 10; in my view:
definitely Lucknow -the world's largest montesorri, and 5 years into annual congresses of world citizens of learning nets
probably part of Barcelona
probably some geek Silicon Valley kernel gravitaing around web2.1
definitely the 100 rural village cluster at visa
probably a jewish community in New York or elsewhere since the 20th centur beras witness to familly learning as a Jewish characteristic par excellence - my dad did the biography of John von Neumann (so I will paste an extract on what learning environments were once like when children came first if you were rich enough to choose, and in some cases even if you were not)
some part of Nigeria represented by Kind's womens hub and cheered (intimately co-mentored) on by one of America's great female activists of the last half century
definitely not anywhere the EU has funded most
but hey this is an exploration game and collaborative treasure hunt (think like children can around the abundance economics of learning as that which gets multiplied in hi-trust use not consumed up by one side extracting from another!) going on over at this map where we can see where everyone's coming from and what gravitational interests in learning they commit to collaborating around lifelong
