The Educating Cities’ Award has been created with the aim of recognising and giving international visibility to the work being carried out by the Educating Cities to improve the quality of life of their cities, in accordance with the principles of the Charter of Educating Cities. The idea is that the Award could be delivered every two years coinciding with an IAEC Congresses.

The Awarded projects will be announced within the coming 14th IAEC Congress which will take place in Rosario (Argentina) in June 2016. The cities whose projects receive the Award will be invited to present their own experience in a plenary session of the 14th IAEC Congress and will receive an award diploma.
