Ako Ōtautahi Learning City Christchurch

Learning Cities and cities of learning are flourishing across the world. They are making lifelong learning a reality in their communities by connecting people to learning opportunities – creating them, supporting them or doing them. Learning cities are about making connections and enabling opportunities for all. They help grow learning that is future-focused, locally connected and globally relevant.

We are part of a world-wide network that champions diverse learning opportunities, uses the strengths within the community and helps develop a more equitable and sustainable society.

Creating a learning city is a collective and continuing journey. We offer a place where you can find learning opportunities that already exist in Christchurch and a chance to attend city-wide events that celebrate different ways of learning. We want to make existing learning opportunities more visible for all regardless of background, age, ethnicity or other diversities. And we want it to be fun!
