Cities, Law and Language. Going Beyond Through Educational Networks

Abstract

Cities, Law and Language. Going Beyond Through Educational Networks – The recent phenomenon of a global network society beyond the traditional State has outlined the importance of monitoring the institutional dynamics of contemporary cities and their crucial contribution in the educational field encouraging an updated comparative public law outlook. Current trends of theoretical and practical investigation are now involved in balancing the right to an Educating City as an extension to the right to education (Charter of Educating Cities). The new relationship among Cities, Law and Language pushes for a reconsideration of a dynamic public comparative law approach of intercultural education. Questioning the “beyond” tool and the efforts for revitalizing new cultural local demands, some critical issues retrieve the human dimension of the law based on some specific best practices of CLIL, aimed to connect global education with intercultural language.
