4 | REPORT ON ACTIVITIES 2025The time has come to take stock of 2025, a year in which the activity of the International Association of Educating Cities (IAEC) grew steadily. In this year’s annual report, you will find a full account of the progress made on the 2023–2026 Strategic Plan, as well as the main initiatives carried out to promote a city model centred on education, in which everyone can grow, develop and lead a fulfilling life. In addressing this challenge, we rely on the support and work of the cities that coordinate the territorial networks, which all have local knowledge, as well as on numerous organisations and groups around the world that identify with the principles of the Charter of Educating Cities. These partnerships maximise the reach of our work, as well as the sustainability and effectiveness of our actions, while also directly reflecting the fact that building the educating city is a collective endeavour. 2025 was a year marked by intense activity across the networks, which showed their capacity to mobilise and to create spaces for dialogue. Most of them organised meetings on the major challenges we face, including sustainability and the fight against climate change, the need to advance towards genuine social inclusion that guarantees opportunities for all, and the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, which are transforming the way we live and work. Across all these areas, education proves to be a decisive factor, as only through learning, critical thinking and collective intelligence can we successfully address these challenges and turn them into opportunities. I would like to highlight the work of Granollers City Council, which has laid the organisational, financial and thematic foundations for the 18th International Congress of Educating Cities in 2026 to serve as a space for reflection and action on education. In addition, it has carried out an extensive programme of outreach that will help enrich global dialogue on local educational policies and strengthen our commitment to building more inclusive, participatory and cohesive cities. In 2025, the IAEC received the Magisterio Prize for Leaders in Education in recognition of its work to promote local policies that foster education as a catalyst for civic development, equity and social cohesion. The award recognises both the people who set this movement in motion and the people who have carried it forward, continuing to promote and uphold education as a tool for transformation. Each achievement has been possible thanks to the hard work and passion of many people. Some appear in this report, but many more from across the cities that make up this rich and diverse mosaic enrich the network through their work and commitment. Thanks to all of them! There are many challenges and opportunities ahead, but we look to 2026 with hope and enthusiasm, as we have done since the creation of the IAEC in 1994. We will continue working to transform our cities and communities through education by exploring new paths, innovating in our approaches, and creating spaces for collaboration that allow us to respond collectively and creatively. Finally, I would like to conclude by expressing my conviction about the importance of organisations such as the IAEC, which serve as a voice for cities as laboratories of global solutions and as an essential force for building better environments.FOREWORD Jaume Collboni CuadradoMayor of Barcelona and Chairman of the IAEC

NETWORKS | 7Networks The Spanish Network of Educating Cities made up of 235 municipalities, is the largest territorial network in the Association. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the city of Viladecans was in charge of coordination.During that period, the Steering Committee was made up of the following towns and cities: Argamasilla de Calatrava, Barcelona, Ciudad Real, Esplugues de Llobregat, Gijón/Xixón, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Lleida, Oviedo, Tomelloso, Viladecans and Zaragoza; Granollers, Málaga, Rivas Vaciamadrid and Seville (as coordinating cities of Thematic Networks), and Avilés, Ibi and VitoriaGasteiz (as guest cities).The Committee met three times – twice in virtual format and once face-to-face in Ciudad Real – and worked on updating the network’s statutes, reviewing the operating regulations of the thematic networks, preparing the National Meeting and monitoring the activity of the thematic networks themselves.In this period, three Thematic Networks were active:• “Education and culture. Strategies for the Construction of an Inclusive City/Community for the Development of a Critical and Creative Citizenship”. Coordinated by Granollers. Participants: 30 cities.• “Inclusion, Cornerstone of the Educating City”. Coordinated by Málaga and Seville. Participants: 25 cities.• “Children and Adolescents: Transforming their City”. Coordinated by Rivas-Vaciamadrid. Participants: 28 cities.The 17th Meeting of the Spanish Network of Educating Cities was held in Viladecans, under the theme “Zero School Dropout” and brought together 280 participants from around 80 cities.

In this period, efforts to bring in new cities were stepped up, and the participation of member cities was consolidated through multiple collaborative working spaces.Over the year, work progressed within the three thematic networks in operation: Nature-Based Solutions; Technology and Social Inclusion; and People with Disabilities. Various materials were created from this work. The People with Disabilities network produced an audiovisual piece featuring testimonies on inclusive policies; the Technology and Social Inclusion network developed a regional educational portal; and the Nature-Based Solutions network ran a regional communication campaign.In addition, Educating Dialogues for Actionwere organised on the creative economy, inclusion and the empowerment of women, and children’s participation in the Educating City. The IAEC is decentralised and works in territorial and/or thematic networksThe Delegation participated in the first South American Climate Week, held from 18 to 24 August in the city of Rosario, where the cities of Rosario, San Justo, Venado Tuerto, Cañada de Gómez and Belleville shared experiences of educating cities in the region on environmental matters.In 2025, there were important institutional meetings:• Technical visit by the Educating City team from Montevideo as part of a horizontal cooperation process to exchange methodologies and learnings on urban policies.• Signing, in Rosario, of a cooperation agreement between the city and the IAEC, as well as a Letter of Intent between the IAEC and Mercociudades, aimed at promoting exchange between networks of local governments.• As part of the International Day of the Educating City, the virtual conference “Learning the City: A Shared Responsibility” was held, delivered by the architect and urban planner Andrés Borthagaray.• Between May and August, three virtual meetings were held with the cities of Caguas, Medellín and Montevideo, which are not part of any territorial network, on “Challenges and Learning for Building Educating Cities”.The Argentinian Network of Educating Cities, coordinated by San Justo, held three virtual meetings over the year, in addition to the annual gathering.

The cities on the Steering Committee (Córdoba and Venado Tuerto) also shared featured experiences in terms of education and digital culture.At the third, held on 22 August, a virtual dialogue on “Global Education and Cooperation” took place, allowing participant cities to explore approaches and strategies to reinforce the international dimension of local educational work.Finally, on 14 November, San Justo played host to the 8th Meeting of the Network, a day devoted to exchange, reflection, the presentation of experiences and visits to innovative initiatives. More than 180 people, representatives of seventeen cities in the country, took part in this edition, which was also attended by the General Secretary and the team from the Latin America Delegation.The Brazilian Network of Educating Cities, coordinated by Curitiba, closed 2025 in a context of robust institutional consolidation, territorial growth and a high level of maturity in its collaborative work. The network now has forty-four cities, after welcoming Benevides, Jaguari and Santa Maria, and continues its ongoing efforts to support new cities interested in joining the IAEC. This support was provided throughout the year, reflecting an active strategy to expand and promote the Educating City model in Brazil.One of the key milestones was participation in the IAEC Ordinary General Assembly in Brussels, where the network presented its annual work plan, thereby bolstering its international presence. What’s more, between February and December, the network held monthly meetings, a key opportunity for the exchange of methodologies, experiences and good practices. These meetings addressed strategic issues such as mobility and the environment, innovation, inclusion and urban rights, which highlight the diversity of urban challenges of Brazilian cities.The 10th National Meeting of the network, held in Passo Fundo, was another important event. It welcomed more than 140 participants from thirty-one cities and featured debates, round tables with public authorities and the presentation of thirty-seven innovative experiences in areas such as sustainability, culture, creativity and community participation. 8th Meeting of the Argentinian Network in San Justo 10th National Meeting of the Brazilian Network in Passo Fundo
NETWORKS | 11Regarding internal governance, Curitiba finished its second term as coordinating city. Passo Fundo and Quitandinha were chosen as support cities for the period 2025–2027. However, the general coordination role remained vacant, prompting a new call to define the future leadership of the network.The year ended with the publication of the third newsletter of experiences, which featured transformative contributions from twelve cities, and the launch of the network’s first podcast, focusing on urban sustainability, climate justice and resilience.The Mexican Network, under the coordination of Guanajuato, accompanied by León and Playa del Carmen, has set up monthly working sessions. This ensures an open and fluid dialogue, enabling the regular exchange of “good practices” and successful experiences.On 3 July, a training session was held for public officials and teachers in the city of Chihuahua, with the aim of promoting a social, inclusive and sustainable transformation at a local level and encouraging lifelong learning in all areas of the city. The workshop examined strategies for mainstreaming education across municipal management and identified tools to transform urban spaces into an open classroom.Finally, simultaneous activities were carried out across all network member cities during the International Educating City Day, which helped raise public awareness of the importance of living in a city that fosters democratic values. In 2025, the Italian Network focused on streamlining its internal operations and enhancing its institutional presence.In terms of organisation, various coordination meetings were held, both online and face-toface. Particularly noteworthy were the meetings held in Syracuse (19–20 May) and in Turin (4–5 November), which provided an opportunity for a more in-depth exchange of experiences and the development of shared lines of work.With regard to the network’s expansion and promotion, the city of La Spezia formally joined the network and dialogue continued with other cities interested in joining the Association, with the aim of further extending the network’s territorial reach.The network also participated actively in international forums, attending the General Assembly of Educating Cities in Brussels (19–21 March), where Bologna presented the initiative “Children of Migration. From Refuge to Citizenship”, which in turn reflected the global debate on inclusion, migration and citizenship.In parallel, communication efforts were stepped up to foster internal engagement and raise the network’s external profile. This included the translation of official documents into Italian to make them more accessible and the creation of Training Session in Chihuahua Meeting of the Italian Network in Turin

On 5 February, a virtual meeting was held on the theme “Physical Activity and Movement as a Learning Support”, featuring presentations from Brussels and Tampere, as well as opportunities for discussion. This initiative contributed to the sharing of good practices and encouraged pedagogical reflection on the body in movement as a means of learning.The General Assembly was also held in Brussels, which included immersive visits to innovative educational practices in the city. A series of study visits were organised, focusing on multilingualism, the promotion of reading, sustainability, craftsmanship and urban innovation. These initiatives helped raise awareness of the IAEC among new cities, although they did not result in new memberships.In September 2025, the Asia-Pacific Network Regional Meeting was held in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, which brought together the member cities of the Asia-Pacific Network. The meeting provided an opportunity for more in-depth discussion on lifelong learning and the role of Educating Cities, with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During the meeting, good practices were presented by Loulé (Portugal), Curitiba (Brazil), Gunsan and Jeonbuk. What’s more, the programme included a presentation on the Association and a promotional session on the 2026 International Congress.In November 2025, the coordinating city of Changwon (accompanied by Andong and Gunsan) held a technical meeting that was attended by representatives from ten member cities and included the presentation of experiences from the city of Pohang and Seoul Metropolitan Government. Partnership strategies within the framework of the network were also discussed, while Geochang was selected as the venue for the 2027 regional meeting.A network newsletter was also published, documenting the network’s activities throughout the year. The newsletter included highlights of events organised by member cities as part of the International Day of the Educating City, as well as major city-driven initiatives.

International CongressesGRANOLLERS 2026Granollers will host the 18th International Congress of Educating Cities between 26 and 29 May 2026, under the theme “Education and Culture in the City: Community, Critical Thinking and Creativity”. The themes that will guide the discussions, dialogues and experience presentations are: • City / Community: focusing on intercultural dialogue, social cohesion and the right to the city, recognising diversity as both a source of richness and a shared challenge.• Critical Citizenship: advocating the development of individuals with independent and responsible thinking and actions to encourage active participation, critical thinking and local democracy.• Creative Citizenship: sharing educational, cultural and technological projects that foster citizen innovation and social capital.With this approach, the Congress will be a space for reflection and collective action to rethink cities as educating, inclusive and resilient environments. https://iaec2026granollers.com/en/In 2025, cities were invited to submit experiences, resulting in 185 submissions from ninety-five cities across sixteen countries for the Congress. The selected experiences will be presented in various formats such as workshops, direct dialogues and posters. Granollers, as host city, will also offer study visits to the city’s most iconic and innovative initiatives linked to the themes of the Congress.Leading figures in the fields of education, philosophy, sociology, journalism, the arts and contemporary critical thought have already confirmed their participation. Influential voices such as Francesco Tonucci, Philippe Meirieu, John Powell, Marina Garcés, Eliane Brum and Richard Sennett will contribute important reflections to address new urban challenges and add intellectual depth to the programme.16 | REPORT ON ACTIVITIES 2025
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES | 17Imagining the city as a space that educates, cares and generates opportunities is one of the greatest challenges of our time. With this shared vision, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the 18th International Congress of Educating Cities, which will take place between 26 and 29 May 2026.It is a real honour for Granollers, an open, diverse and committed city of 65,000 inhabitants, to host this international gathering. For many years, we have been passionately committed to the values of Educating Cities. We took part in the first International Congress held in Barcelona in 1990 and have been part of the International Association since its creation in 1994.The compact size of our city means that we can stay close to people while also taking on major contemporary challenges responsibly. Therefore, hosting this Congress is an opportunity and also a commitment for us: to offer an inspiring, useful and transformative meeting spaces where we can share experiences and lessons learnt.The Congress will address challenges shared by all our cities, such as urban complexity, social polarisationand fostering a critical and creative citizenship. Under the slogan “Education and Culture in the City: Community, Critical Thinking and Creativity”, we want to reflect together on a need that unites us as global citizens. At a time of mistrust between cultures and groups living in the same city, we must build bridges to bring people closer together and understand one another. Only by rejecting hate speech and combating racism can we ensure a genuine and long-lasting sense of belonging for everyone in our cities. This Congress will be a space to reinforce this collective task.The Congress has a Scientific Committee that has helped select the fourteen international speakers who have already confirmed their attendance. Similarly, one hundred educational experiences from ninety-five cities around the world have already been selected. It will be a pleasure to welcome you to Granollers, your home for a few days, to network, build the present and imagine together the future of our educating cities.We look forward to seeing you!Alba Barnusell i OrtuñoMayor of Granollers
awareness-raising materials also enhanced the visibility and reach of the Day.At a community and recreational level, participation took shape through cultural and artistic activities, collaborative murals on children’s rights, initiatives to revitalise squares and public spaces, treasure hunts, games and group activities, dialogue circles, inter-school projects for cultural exchange and shared responsibility, and inclusive and awarenessraising events. In addition, awareness-raising and training activities were carried out to encourage participation, including talks, workshops and training sessions on children’s participation and governance, promoting reflection on the right to be heard, to participate and to influence decisions affecting their surroundings. Intergenerational meetings and open activities were also organised on streets and at municipal buildings, libraries, museums and parks, thereby bolstering the community dimension of participation.As part of the Day, a joint event was held, in a hybrid format open to all IAEC cities. This event, co-organised with Barcelona City Council, featured the talk “Children’s Participation in the Educating City: Wish or Reality?” by Cath Larkins, expert in child participation and professor at the University of Central Lancashire (United Kingdom), and the presentation of good practices from Turin, Geneva and Rivas-Vaciamadrid.The tenth edition of the International Day of the Educating City took place on 30 November under the theme “Children’s Participation in the Educating City”.This theme highlighted the role of children as active citizens with the right to have their say and to be part of the decisions affecting them. In the Educating City, children should play a central role in shaping a fairer, more inclusive and more supportive community. Many Educating Cities already offer initiatives to develop participatory skills and foster active citizenship, alongside mechanisms that enable participation in community life, whether through schools, community organisations or municipal governments themselves (children’s councils, children’s parliaments, participatory budgeting, etc.).Cities marked the Day with a wide range of activities, with a particular focus on the participation of children and adolescents. Notably, meetings and exchange spaces with local political leaders helped reinforce councils and permanent representative structures, while consolidating stable channels for dialogue, listening and shared responsibility in municipal governance. Within this framework, institutional events included children’s and youth assemblies, children’s and youth councils, youth forums and meetings with mayors and councillors. In many cities, the Declaration or manifesto was publicly read, the flag was hoisted and other activities linked to the annual theme took place.

EDUCATING CITIES AWARD | 23The Educating Cities Award, which is given out every two years, is the highest recognition of the International Association of Educating Cities to successful innovative experiences with measurable results of their impact on improving the living conditions of citizens, in keeping with the principles of the Charter of Educating Cities. The Award sets out to recognise and give international visibility to the work of member cities, as well as to highlight best practices that can be a source of inspiration for other cities in the construction of more educating environments.In its sixth edition, the Educating Cities Award addresses the theme of “Education as a Source of Inclusion and Social Cohesion” and the shortlisted experiences fall within the following areas: lifelong learning; social and labour market inclusion; and cultural and community life.A total of sixty-one experiences from ten countries and forty-eight cities have been submitted for the Award. The jury has already been formed, comprising the cities of León-Guanajuato and Katowice, representing the IAEC Executive Committee, together with three experts in the field: Dr Aina Tarabini, Associate Professor of Sociology of Education at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Director of the Globalisation, Education and Social Policies research group; Dr Lauri Tuomi, Executive Director of the Finnish Lifelong Learning Foundation and Chair of the European Association for Adult Education; and Prof. Zarelly Sibaja, Director of the Institute for Gender Studies at the Open University of Costa Rica and member of the Steering Committee of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences.The members of the jury have received the applications that met all the eligibility criteria and have carried out an initial individual assessment of each one. The jury will then meet to deliberate, and the Award Ceremony will be held during the 18th International Congress of Educating Cities, in Granollers in May 2026.Educating Cities Award In its sixth edition, the Educating Cities Award addresses the theme of “Education as a Source of Inclusion and Social Cohesion”
The Assembly began with a welcome reception at the City Hall and a guided tour of this iconic building. The programme included study visits showcasing innovative initiatives in areas such as multilingualism, sustainable mobility, neighbourhood engagement, the promotion of reading, craftsmanship, the circular economy and urban responses to climate change. The day continued with a conference on how to foster equity and agency through dialogue, followed by the presentation of good practices from Bologna, Lattes and Rosario. Finally, internal matters of the Association were addressed, including the 2024 review, planning for the coming year, and the presentation of the activities and outlook of the territorial networks.Brussels also hosted the work of the Executive Committee. This body also met virtually in February and October.Other Activities 24 | REPORT ON ACTIVITIES 2025Ordinary General Assembly The 2025 Ordinary General Assembly was held in Brussels in March in a hybrid format, with 175 in-person participants from eightyfour cities and thirteen countries.RecognitionThe IAEC was recognised for its work in promoting local policies that foster education as a catalyst for civic development, equity and social cohesion with the 2025 Magisterio Prize for Leaders in Education granted by Siena Educación.
Guide for Assessing Educational ImpactThis guide intends to be an instrument to facilitate the evaluation of projects, initiatives, programmes and policies, to improve decisionmaking and to promote a culture of evaluation under the perspective of the Educating City before, during and after its implementation.It, specifically, aims to contribute to:• Identifying achievements made in the construction of the Educating City;• Detecting areas for improvement or pending aspects;• Expanding the educational impact of policies and projects;• Reflecting collectively on how to move forward in building this model of city.Over the course of 2025, progress was made in developing this new digital tool, which features a flexible, user-friendly online questionnaire that adapts according to three key aspects:• Target groups of the initiative.• Field of intervention, e.g. culture, sport, health, public space, etc.• Current stage of the initiative, whether design, implementation or final evaluation.Once the questionnaire has been completed, a report is generated, in terms of assessing the programme’s educational impact.The report includes:• An analysis of the impact, depending on the target groups of the initiative;• The results obtained in the different areas of action;• A specific section on the governance of the initiative, which invites reflection on how the project has been managed and coordinated and what room for improvement there is.The tool has been tested with the collaboration of Rosario, Barcelona, Granollers and Lleida and – based on their contributions – the finishing touches are now being made. OTHER ACTIVITIES | 25CallsIn 2025, member cities were invited to apply to host the 19th International Congress of Educating Cities (2028). The city of Torres Vedras, representing the Portuguese thematic group “Play in the Educating City”, invited all IAEC cities to join the commemoration of International Game Day. As a result, on 11 June, the “Play Hour” initiative was held, which encouraged member cities to enable spaces such as school playgrounds, squares, streets or parks so that children could play freely. This initiative set out to promote the right to play and highlight its educational, social and emotional value. Nearly 290,000 children from ninety-four IAEC cities in seven countries actively participated in this fun day.Organisational Developments and Corporate IdentityDuring the year, new staff were recruited to expand capacity and improve support for the network, particularly in Portuguese. At the same time, a corporate logo user manual has been prepared, and the organisation’s digital identity was put in place, a key step in enabling a wide range of administrative procedures to be carried out securely in digital environments.
TrainingIn 2025, the IAEC Secretariat organised a series of online events for member cities of the Spanish Network of Educating Cities, with a view to sharing knowledge, experiences and ideas on the implementation of professional mentoring projects at a municipal level, and reflecting on the importance of anticipating knowledge transfer in the context of generational change. In the framework of these sessions, the cities of Madrid and Barcelona presented their respective mentoring strategies, offering specific examples of good practices.In the area of training, the Latin America Delegation’s Virtual Classroom delivered courses on the Principles and Values of an Educating City, Sexual Diversity in Educating Cities, Nature-Based Solutions, and Public Policies and Youth Participation. MeetingsThe IAEC took part in the annual UCLG retreat held in February.Over the course of the year, the Secretariat held bilateral meetings with various cities, including Buenos Aires, Changwon, Jerez de la Frontera, La Llagosta, Mirandela, Montesilvano, Santa Fe and Torres Vedras. It also welcomed a delegation of Palestinian cities interested in the network and organised a series of study visits for representatives of Katowice and Geneva.26 | REPORT ON ACTIVITIES 2025Monograph: “City, Values and Education”Throughout 2025, the different articles that will make up the monograph “City, Values and Education”, coordinated by Ana Barrero, Chairwoman of the Spanish Association for Peace Research (AIPAZ) and Director of the Council of the Culture of Peace Foundation were received. Like the previous issues, this volume includes in-depth articles, interviews and good practices from member cities. The publication has contributions from Joan Manuel del Pozo, Chair of the Council of Education of Catalonia; Pamela Poo Cifuentes, Director of Public Policies and Advocacy of the Ecosur Foundation; and Achim Wennmann, Professor at the Geneva Graduate Institute and holder of the Nagulendran Chair in Peace Mediation.It also includes interviews with the Mayor of Bilbao, the Secretary of Education of Bogotá and the founder of The Peace Collective, an Indian organisation focused on training to foster a culture of peace.Among the good practices highlighted are the School of the Generations in Passo Fundo, the Espacio Modelo in Montevideo, interfaith dialogue in Odivelas and the commemoration of World Refugee Day in Sant Boi de Llobregat.
BIDCE | 27BIDCEWHAT IS IT?It is a virtual platform that features about 550 initiatives of Educating Cities from around the world, which reflect good practices in the rollout of public policies that promote education in the city, in a broad sense, led by local governments themselves, or in partnership with many other local stakeholders.WHAT DOES IT OFFER?• The opportunity to share knowledge, generate inspiration and foster cooperation between cities.• Innovative solutions to urban, social, cultural, economic, environmental, and educational challenges based on criteria of innovation, transferability, relevance, sustainability and transformative impact, taking the principles of the Charter of Educating Cities as a framework for action.• Recognition and a platform for member cities to make their work known.HOW DOES IT WORK?• The Document Bank has a systematised web directory (updated in 2024) with search categories (by geographical area, city, description, target age groups, or keyword).• It also has a regularly updated “Featured Experiences” section that showcases initiatives on the same topic.• The Bank can be consulted in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese (experiences published as of June 2024).Experiences published in 2025 addressed a range of issues such as the recovery of historical memory, truancy and school dropout, the promotion of reading and culture, youth engagement, education for sustainability and intercultural awareness, sustainable mobility, and gender equality. Meanwhile, the Secretariat collaborated in the analysis and selection of the experiences submitted by cities to take part in various meetings organised by some territorial networks and for the 18th International Congress. All this material is of great value to continue feeding the database, based on criteria of innovation, impact and transferability. In 2025, the final refinements were made to the new platform for submitting experiences to meetings, congresses and awards, which was used for the Spanish Network of Educating Cities Meeting, the Brazilian Network, the Argentinian Network, the 18th International Congress and the Educating Cities Award process. This new platform features published experiences from meetings or congresses and includes a search tool with filters such as keyword, city, thematic area and presentation format. You can consult the experiences presented at the Spanish Network Meeting on Zero School Dropout and the experiences presented at the Brazilian Network Meeting on Sustainability, Creativity and Inclusion for Active Citizenship.What’s more, the Latin American Bank of Experiences is also available, with more than 180 experiences from cities in the region, available in Spanish and Portuguese.The Bank features more than 550 good practices led by local governments around the world that promote education in the city.
