The document discusses learning centres in Sweden that aim to promote regional development. Specifically, it focuses on learning centres in Lapland that work with three northern Swedish universities to offer degree programs and higher vocational education in industries important to the region like mining, tourism, and hydroelectric engineering. The centers serve as meeting places for learning, inspiration, support and education and help increase access to education while reducing unemployment and brain drain from remote areas.
