WG3 Education in the City

Approaches education in the city from the perspective of educational institutions, organizations and policies, from the perspective of their intersectoral and cross-cutting articulation, taking into account socio-territorial specificities. In this sense, it considers the necessary convergence between the fields of education, culture, sports, health, among others, in the intersectoral construction of educational arrangements in the territories and lifelong learning. It understands the school as an inalienable right and as a key institution for new educational designs and paths. Educational inclusion in the city - multiplicity and difference.
