Inspired by the French « Fête de la Musique », the #LEARNINGPLANETFESTIVAL is a global, open and bottom-up movement of diverse individual stakeholders (youth, educators, etc.) and organisations (schools, NGOs, companies, etc.) willing to celebrate learning in all its dimensions, especially meaningful learning experiences allowing to take care of oneself, others and the planet. By synchronising the world around International Day of Education (January 24), the Festival offers an annual opportunity to federate all driving forces in the fields of learning and sustainable development, to showcase exemplary initiatives, to share ideas and create many opportunities to connect with and contribute to local projects following the event itself.
While 2020 is the first edition of the #LP Festival and that only little communication was made yet, mainly through word-of-mouth, there were already numerous pioneers – individuals, associations, schools, cities, etc. – taking the lead and organising local events across France and many other countries. Let’s celebrate the incredible work they have already accomplished!
We are now preparing a series of toolkits and digital solutions co-designed with the #LEARNINGPLANET community to help create future events and share all needed information (online map and agenda of activities, registration tools, blogs, etc.) so thousands of Festivals may be more harmoniously organised and reached out to the world.
