PCC Alumni Global Learning Forum 2024
ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for a special gathering on June 13-14th at the University of Amsterdam (Roeterseiland Campus) to celebrate and elevate the Alumni network of our renowned summer program and the Spanish-version course to:
- Foster a sense of community and civic leadership
- Facilitate knowledge exchange among international peers from diverse sectors, professions, global cities, and cultures
- Identify and co-create actionable steps towards cycling futures
- Lay the foundation for future collaboration among participants
This event will bring together people from diverse backgrounds who share the same passion for sustainable, just, and active urban transportation.
CO-CREATE ACTIONABLE STEPS
As we embark on this reunion together, we will publish a 2-part manifesto featuring unique perspectives, interviews, insights, and personal experiences from as many alumni as possible, reflecting the collective wisdom and vision of our community. We are working with an Amsterdam-based graphic artist, Maureen Nahumury, to produce this manifesto.
Part 1 of the manifesto will be released concurrently with the Alumni Global Learning Forum and all PCC Alumni are invited to contribute even if they cannot attend the event in person. Contribute here or schedule an interview with us (deadline April 15th).
Part 2 of the manifesto will be co-created during the Forum and will focus on actionable steps towards cycling futures, using cycling to rethink our assumptions of mobility.
