When Organizations & Individuals Learn Together
Learning Regions contribute to healthy, sustainable societies. In the Kootenay Boundary the Learning Region consists of collaborations between Selkirk College, College of the Rockies, and School Districts 8, 10, 20 and 51 and Community Colleges of Spokane.
Norman Longworth, a leading proponent of lifelong learning says, “a Learning Region is a place where all it its leaders and administrators, its organizations and institutions, its people and communities learn together how to create economic buoyancy, social capital and ecological sustainability.”
