The Learning City Initiative is funded by Derry City and Strabane District Council, North West Regional College and Ulster University.
Derry City and Strabane District Council

Derry City and Strabane District Council is the local authority for Derry and Strabane district in Northern Ireland. It was created as part of the 2014 Northern Ireland local government reform, replacing Derry City Council and Strabane District Council.
The Council’s Strategic Growth Plan highlights the importance of lifelong learning for all its citizens and identifies a number of key actions which will help lay the foundation for the north west of Ireland to become a learning region.

Ulster University (Magee)

Magee is one of four regional campuses of Ulster University. The beautiful and historic campus encapsulates all the characteristics of a traditional academic institution but is the setting for cutting-edge research and teaching which enables students to thrive across a myriad of disciplines and specialist areas in a top-class learning environment. Academic excellence cuts across all four of our faculties and the campus is home to world-leading teaching and research in intelligent systems, creative arts, peace and conflict, business, and healthy living amongst others.
Dr O Neill is delighted that the world’s first ever Virtual Learning City Festival will be hosted by Derry City and Strabane Learning City and Region in July 2020.
