Katowice has undergone a dynamic and profound transformation from a city based\u00a0on heavy industry to a modern, multicoloured, diverse and vibrant metropolis. Changes have been introduced in all the most important areas of the city thanks to the abilities, vivid imagination\u00a0and enthusiasm of its inhabitants. We want to share our story and experience with you through\u00a0the proposed thematic axes, highlighting the dynamic change, as well as through the rich and varied programme of the Congress and side events.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city of Katowice has been the member of the International Association of Educating Cities since 1998. The inspiration for the theme of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> Congress comes from the provisions of the \u201cCharter<br>\nof Educating Cities\u201d which will be updated during the Congress.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am convinced that 2020 International Congress in Katowice, organized in the most modern conference space in Poland, will be an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience<br>\non the constant improvement of urban areas, and that our city will become an international educating platform both for us and our distinguished guests.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cordially invite you to Katowice to participate in the 16<sup>th<\/sup> International Congress of Educating Cities.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With kind regards,<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcin Krupa<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor of Katowice City.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11675,"template":"","edc_news_cat":[811,920],"edc_news_tag":[919],"edc_minisite":[],"class_list":["post-11672","edc_news","type-edc_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","edc_news_cat-congress","edc_news_cat-katowice-2020-congress","edc_news_tag-katowice"],"acf":{"edcities_scope":["global"],"edcities_related_city":[],"edcities_related_network":[],"edcities_related_minisite":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
