CORK LEARNING CITY
Welcome all to 2020 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival. I am honoured as Lord Mayor of Cork and Patron of the Festival to extend a hand of friendship and welcome to all people who will participate in learning activities over the Festival week this year. And as First Citizen I want also to acknowledge and congratulate all of those citizens who work to make the festival happen, by hosting events and encouraging participants to attend, connecting people and inspiring our fellow citizens. This is a festival for all our citizens – a people’s festival, and it is one that we all can be proud of. It is recognised and admired the world over and it has inspired many other cities to follow this path. Over the past two years the cities of Swansea, Dublin, Lowell and Derry are all hosting their first Learning Festivals and Shanghai, our sister city reported on their Learning Festival at the UNESCO conference in Colombia in 2019. For us in Cork this year is a significant centenary year, in particular for the Office of Lord Mayor, as we remember and recognise the lives and contributions of my predecessors Tomás MacCurtain and Terence McSwiney, both martyrs in the cause of Irish freedom. In relation to learning it is appropriate to remember in particular the contribution of Terence McSwiney, who as Lord Mayor in 1920 initiated a practice of visiting all the schools in the city. This connection between the schools of the city and the City Council is a proud and unique tradition of our city and is a commitment that continues to this day.
Is féile í seo dár saoránaigh go léir-féile na ndaoine, agus is féidir linn go léir a bheith bródúil aisti. Tá eolas agus meas ar an bhféile ar fud an domhain agus spreag sí go leor cathracha eile chun aithris a dhéanamh orainn. Le dhá bhliain anuas reáchtáil cathracha Abertawe, Bhaile Átha Cliath, Lowell agus Dhoire go léir Féile Foghlama dá gcuid féin den chéad uair agus thuairiscigh Shanghai, cathair atá cleamhnaithe linn, ar a Féile Foghlama féin ag comhdháil UNESCO sa Cholóim in 2019. Dúinne an seo i gCorcaigh, is bliain sh untasach í, go háirithe d’Oifig an Ard mhéara, agus sinn ag cuimhneamh ar, agus ag tabhairt aitheant a is do shaol agus do chion oibre na nArd mhéaraí a chuaigh romham, is iad sin Tomás Mac Curtáin agus Traolach Mac Suibhne, ar mairtírigh ar son shaoirse na hÉireann iad. Ó thaobh na foghlama de, is cuí cuimhneamh go háirithe ar an gcion a rinne Traolach Mac Suibhne, a chuir tús le nós, agus é ina Ardmhéara i 1920, lena dtugtar cuairt ar na scoileanna go léir sa chathair. Is traidisiún faoi leith de chuid na cathrach seo againne é, traidisiún a bhfuilimid bródúil as, an nasc atá idir scoileanna na cathrach agus an Chomhairle Cathrach agus tá an traidisiún sin fós beo sa lá atá inniu ann. Tá sé ar cheann den iliomad nasc a chruthaíonn ‘éiceachóras’ iontach Cathrach Foghlama i gCorcaigh, rud a ghnóthaigh aitheantas idirnáisiúnta ó UNESCO nuair a bronnadh Gradam Cathrach Foghlama ar Chorcaigh in 2015, agus lenar roghnaíodh Corcaigh chun 3ú Comhdháil Idirnáisiúnta na gCathracha Foghlama a reáchtáil in 2017.
Cllr John Sheehan Árdmhéara Chorcaí Lord Mayor of Cork FESTIVAL PATRON
It is one of the many links that create such a strong Learning City ‘eco-system’ in Cork, that has lead to international recognition by UNESCO with a Learning City Award in 2015, and in the city’s selection as hosts of the 3rd International Learning City Conference in 2017.
And for 2020, let’s all live up to these traditions, and fulfil the motto of the Festival, to Investigate, Celebrate and Participate in one of most engaging weeks of the year in Cork!

Fáilte chuig an 17ú Féile Foghlama Chorcaí. Is mór an onóir domsa mar Ard mhéara Chorcaí agus mar Éarlamh na Féile fáilte Uí Cheallaigh a chur roimh gach duine a ghlacfaidh páirt i ngníomhaíochtaí foghlama i rith sheachtain na Féile i mbliana. Agus mar Chéad Saoránach ba mhaith liom aitheantas a thabhairt, agus comhghairdeas a dhéanamh, le gach saoránach a oibríonn chun an fhéile a chur ar siúl, ach imeachtaí a reáchtáil agus rannpháirtithe a spreagadh, daoine a thabhairt le chéile agus ár gcomhshaoránaigh a in spreagadh.
Maidir le 2020, seasaimis leis na tra idisiúin seo go léir, agus le mana na Féile, is é sin chun Fiosrú, Ceiliúradh agus Rannpháirtíocht i gceann de na seachtainí is spreagúla sa bhliain i gCorcaigh a chothú!

Fèile Foghlama Chorcaì
On behalf of all our Cork Learning City partners, welcome to the 2020 Lifelong Learning Festival, now in it’s 17th year and more varied than ever. The festival is a vitally important expression of our city as a Learning City. It is a festival that is recognised globally, and more importantly locally, as a fantastic annual opportunity for people of all interests, ages and abilities to develop new learning pathways, to celebrate all that’s best in lifelong learning and to connect together. This year, as we did last year, the festival runs for 8 days. It opens with events for ‘Cork Play Day’, and our final Sunday includes our Family Fun Day, celebrating learning for all in Fitzgerald’s Park. We hope your involvement in the Festival, whether as an event host or as a participant, (or both) is enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you all for making the festival what it is! Adrienne Rodgers Director of Service Cork City Council Community, Culture & Placemaking Co-Chair Cork Learning City and GLLiC Growing Lifelong Learning in Cork
A chairde, Fáilte romhaibh go léir chuig ár Féile Foghlama 2020.
It is with great pride that I welcome you this year’s Lifelong Learning Festival in Cork. In my first year in CETB, I have seen many great examples of how collaboration between the community, state and private sectors contribute to the experience of lifelong learning for people in Cork. Lifelong Learning builds the capacity of all us to adapt to an ever changing society and economy. The Lifelong Learning Festival is a unique event, one that has captured the imagination of people both in the city and beyond and continues to grow and develop after 17 years. I want to thank the organising committee, in particular the hairperson Willie McAuliffe, the co-ordinator Siubhán McCarthy, and all the people from the voluntary, community, state and private sectors who contribute to this ongoing success in so many ways Denis Leamy Chief Executive, Cork Education and Training Board

Artist Ofri Cnaani works in diverse media including performance, installation, and print. Her performances are often made for one person at the time, offering new perspectives on the concept of ‘mediation’ through the tension between the age-old occult and the omniscient digital world. She invites visitors, one by one, to sit in for a live A.S.M.R. test that predicts their ‘algorithmic fate’: a map of products, words, news clippings and social connections. The exhibition explores questions surrounding data collection and algorithmic prediction. In addition, it examines aspects of electronic colonialism in the context of e-production.

Cork Playful City ‘Cork Plays’ uses playfulness and games as a tool to break down barriers, to engage and build relationships across all communities. Cork City is exploring the different ways that we can make our city more playful, whether through events and festivals or through specific initiatives which the ‘Cork Plays’ project will roll out over the next two years. Sunday 29th March, (the first day of the 2020 Festival) is designated a Cork City ‘Play Day’. Groups and organisations throughout the city have been inventive about incorporating playfulness and games into their events.
Cork Plays part of a European Union funded project called Playful Paradigm and is supported by Cork City Council, Cork City Public Participation Network, Cork Healthy City and Learning Cities.

Learning Neighbourhoods
Cork Learning Neighbourhoods is a key project that connects the Learning City with citizens in local communities. A Learning Neighbourhood is an area that is constantly strengthening its practice in learning, providing a diversity of learning opportunities for the whole population through partnership and collaboration. These are communities where learning, in all its forms and for all ages, is acknowledged and celebrated at local level. Learning Neighbourhoods highlight and celebrate existing inclusive local learning initiatives, as well as creating new ones. There are now six Learning Neighbourhoods, having begun on a pilot basis in two neighbourhoods, Ballyphehane and Knocknaheeny in 2015, the initiative has since been expanded to include Togher, Mayfield, South Parish and The Glen, with more neighbourhoods to come. In each of these Learning Neighbourhoods, local coordinating groups plan and run events during the Festival, and throughout the year. It is all about celebrating learning and trying new things, making new connections, having fun and communities working together to benefit all residents. Each of the Learning
104
Neighbourhoods have lots on offer and are delighted with the opportunity to show what’s happening throughout the Festival week. Why not go along and find out more at some of the over 100 events in these areas: • Ballyphehane • Knocknaheeny • Mayfield • Togher • South Parish • The Glen Some of the Learning Neighbourhoods are also collaborating with UCC and CIT to host talks and workshops, art exhibitions and trails, theatre performances and movie showings and information session on returning to education.

CORK LEARNING CITY
Deich bhliain ag fás – Cork Lifelong Learning Festival and Féile an Phobail Belfast Since a Co-operation Ireland programme that was held during the festival in 2008 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival has had a connection with Belfast, and has been committed to developing stronger relations between the cities in the context of the Peace Process and the Good Friday Agreement. In 2010 the partnership between the two festival s was formally announced, following initial joint events with Féile an Phobail - the Festival of the People – held in Cork and Belfast the previous year. Now 10 years later we celebrate and acknowledge the links and the friendships that have subsequently developed between the two festivals over the years. Highlights during those years since included in 2011 when President of Ireland Mary McAleese welcomed the link as she officially opened the Cork festival, in 2012 when the Lord Mayor of Belfast Niall O’Donnghaile jointly launched the festival with the Lord Mayor of Cork Terry Shannon, and in 2018 when the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival helped celebrate Féile’s
106
30th birthday, at the launch by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Lord Mayor of Belfast Deirdre Hargey. Beacause of the strength of this partnership exchanges and projects happen each year, among them: mural painting by Mahon Community Development Project’s Men’s Art Group working with Belfast mural artists including Frank Quigley; building and rowing traditional currachs when young people from nationalist and unionist areas in Belfast and Lisburn visit Meitheal Mara in Cork annually; and ‘Scribes’ events, bringing writers from different parts of Ireland together to read from their work. Relationships have built up between the individuals and organisations involved, so they continue year-round, including participation by Belfast in the Cork City Marathon and vice-versa. Bringing together even a few individuals together to work on projects can forge understanding and co-operation as people learn a little about each other and recognise things we all have in common. After ‘Deich bhliain ag fás’ this work and these connections continue and grow and all involved look forward to many more years growing together as ‘Festival cousins’.

CORK LEARNING CITY
Host of 3rd UNESCO International Conference on Learning Cities 2017
Cork - UNESCO Learning City Our people make Cork a Learning City, recognised by UNESCO, who presented us with a Learning City Award in 2015. Cork was one of the first 12 cities to achieve this award worldwide, and is one of only 38 cities in all to be awarded to date. The success of our Lifelong Learning Festival was one of the key reasons Cork City achieved this global recognition. When UNESCO selected Cork to host the 3rd International Conference on Learning Cities in 2017 it was another significant statement of support for the city’s track record in recognising and promoting lifelong learning. and promoting lifelong learning. Our Vision: Celebrating and supporting learning - all ways and for all We see Cork as a place where active engagement in learning, lifelong and lifewide, by all people, is part of our identity and our culture. We see learning as a means to transform lives, locally and globally; and we are committed to leaving no-one behind.

Atlantic Currents: Cork & Lowell Writers BOOK LAUNCH 5.30pm, Council Chamber, City Hall
Come along to the launch of this new anthology, meet the Editors, hear about Cork-Lowell Literary connections and listen to some of the writers reading from their work. Atlantic Currents: Connecting Cork and Lowell brings together sixty-five writers from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean whose stories, poems, essays, songs, and parts of novels come to us in familiar voices. Lowell in Massachusetts, is famously the home of Jack Kerouac, author of On the Road. Like Cork, it has a rich literary tradition and, like Cork, is equally committed to the values and goals of UNESCO’s Learning Cities programme. With the objective of strengthening connections between these two communities and to create new learning links, this newly published anthology - an expression of our shared connections - is launched this evening. Atlantic Currents is published by Loom Press of Lowell. There will also be a writers’ exchange. The idea is to introduce the two cities to each other and so the anthology includes the histories of Lowell and Cork, together with work by established and emerging poets, short story writers and novelists, journalists, prose writers, and personal responses to life in both cities. Spurred by a desire to make a sturdy bond between two historic cities whose modern
resurgence has been driven in large part by commitments to lifelong experiential learning, the organizers of Cork Learning City and Lowell: City of Learning began collaborating in the spirit of UNESCO’s Learning Cities network. With this anthology, the connecting thread is made stronger through the now entwined writing and reading in both places. Come along and meet writers and the Editor from Cork, Tina Neylon, former Books Editor of The Irish Examiner & Co-ordinator of the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival from 2004 to 2017, with one of the two Lowell Editors, John Wooding, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, University of Massachusetts, Lowell and co-ordinator of Lowell City of Learning. Cork’s connections with Lowell date back to 2016. Since the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival began in 2004 and, in particular, since UNESCO’s recognition of Cork as a Learning City in 2015 there have been many contacts with other cities interested in following in its footsteps. Some have founded their own festivals of lifelong learning, others are developing initiatives to foster a culture of learning in their cities – among them Limerick, Belfast, Dublin, Derry, Swansea, Wyndham in Australia, Burnaby in Canada, and recently Lowell in Massachusetts, USA.

The All Ireland Network of Learning Cities
Members of the All Ireland Learning City Network include Limerick, Dublin, Belfast, Derry and Cork to date. In 2019 the Mayors of each of these cities signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding committing them to work together as Learning Cities, support each other and share information Formed originally in Cork in November 2018, the Irish Network of Learning Cities is an allisland network for support, inspiration, knowhow and sharing good practice, based on the principles of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities Progress The Network has been meeting quarterly, each city hosting in turn, with the next network meeting planned for Cork during Lifelong Learning Festival week. Belfast will hold their Learning Festival in late March, and DerryStrabane are planning their first Learning Festival in May.
112
The European and North American Network of Learning Cities At a meeting in Cork in April 2019 attended by UNESCO, cities from across the UN Region of Europe and North America formed a Network for support, inspiration, know-how and sharing good practice, based on the principles of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities. It includes a focus of support and mentoring of US cities and institutions committed to implementing UNESCO Learning Cities policies and practice at a time when the USA is outside UNESCO membership. Progress
In Nov 2019, Lowell in Massachusetts USA hosted the first Learning City Seminar in North America, with input from European Learning Cities. The US members of the Network have been communicating with Lowell who plan to hold their 3rd Learning Festival in May. South Bend City in Indiana are planning to launch their new technology based Lifelong Learning initiative in June
