Our mission

To build more inclusive, supportive and participatory cities where everyone has opportunities to learn and develop.

As Educating Cities, our aim is for education to go beyond the school walls and permeate the whole city. Our constant aim is to learn, innovate and share in order to enrich the lives of our residents and make them safer and more dignified, affirming the right to an educational city as an extension of the fundamental right to education.
