In a note, the Câmara de Loulé recalls that the International Day of the Educating City is a celebration that aims to «create awareness of the importance of education in the broadest sense and intends to make known the commitment of local governments as generators of well-being being of the communities that inhabit the territory, their coexistence, well-being, prosperity and social cohesion».
The Portuguese Territorial Network of Educating Cities, of which the Municipality of Loulé has been a member since 2007, seeks to find, every year, an original way to mark the day and its concept embodied in the Charter of the International Association of Educating Cities.
