Each City or Region of Learning platform looks similar but the content is different for sure.
You can find a map on top of the platform – where can you find activties in your region already?
Activities that are connected through a certain topic can be gathered in Learning Playlists. You might know playlists from Youtube or Spotify to organise your music or intersts. It’s the same principle here but in the shape of learning pathways.
