Introduction: Learning Networks for Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is a multi-actor process:
exchange & integrate a diversity of• types of knowledge & expertise• perspectives• interests
Joint Learning Process (mutual & collective)

Introduction: Regional Learning Networks for Sustainable Development
Definition Learning Network
Partnership of actors aiming at innovation throughknowledge sharing and/or collaborative knowledge development

Introduction: Regional Learning Networks for Sustainable Development
Examples Learning Network
Intraregional (learning within a region):• RCE: develop innovative approaches to education for sustainable
development• SUN: develop innovative approaches in sustainable urban
development
Interregional (learning between regions):• RCE-network: exchange and share innovative approaches, learn
from diversity

Towards Learning Networks 2.0?
Learning Networks for SD:• Institutionalised, participants often representatives• Face-to-face meetings
Online social networks:• Self-organizing, individual-based• Virtual interactions
![Page 10: Potential of Social Software to support Learning Networks for Sustainable Development](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/56815367550346895dc16d49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Towards Learning Networks 2.0?
Regional Learning Networks for SD:• Institutionalised, participants represent organisations• Face-to-face meetings

Web 2.0- more creative- more participatory- more socializing
• Content (co-)creation: weblogs, wiki’s
• Voice: rating & review systems
• Profiling / socializing: sharing your identity, life
• Exchange / socializing: sharing media, taste
• Real-time communication: audio, video
• Information collection and filtering: news feeds

Towards Learning Networks 2.0?
Explore the potential of web 2.0 technologiesto support learning networks for SD:
• stimulate participation & networking• enhance interactivity & sharing• foster creativity & collaboration• support self-organisation

Towards Learning Networks 2.0?
Consultation of regional SD practitioners:
• Blending of face-to-face and virtual interactions
• Quality assurance: “extended peer review” ?
• Continuity: shared interests, clear benefits

Preliminary conclusions• Potential of learning networks 2.0:
– Shared interest: Quality of Life monitor (Energy)– Or: wait for next generation?
• Dilemma of learning networks 2.0:- non-hierarchic, user-centred, open regional innovation network
Versus
- hierarchic, interest-driven, closed regional power networks
