Ringkasan :The development of society depends on our capacity to learn and adapt to new
realities and new circumstances. The mark of development in the human story
going forth in this millennium depends on the application of creative mind,
thought and practice on ancient challenges that find new expression in the
pressures of the modern world. The creation of learning societies depends on
the fostering of learning cities and they in turn must be made up of learning
communities and learning organizations. This book therefore is a timely
contribution to an important subject – how do we create learning cities and
learning organizations?
This work is not an isolated and academic piece. It is a reflection on a European
project within which Dublin City was able to play a valuable role. That European
project demonstrated the value of different players concerned with the wellbeing
of society working together to create a programme which can guide and inform
those committed to the ideal of the learning city. We called the programme
LILLIPUT. The image is taken from the work of one of Ireland’s great writers,
Jonathan Swift. In his work Gulliver’s Travels he uses the image of different lands,
one being Lilliput – the land of giants. We can all be giants if we allow the learning
imperative to drive our vision and our personal growth
