P4P worked with the MacArthur Foundation, cultivating meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships to help advance Connected Learning, an approach that recognizes that learning today can and does take place anywhere and everywhere -- in school, in the community, on the job and online. Cities of Learning plays an important role in addressing some of the most critical education issues of our time, and is an organic movement led by the vision and energy of civic leaders, integrating the principles of Connected Learning in select communities across the country.
