What are #LearningPlanet Circles?
#LearningPlanet Circles connect like-minded communities with shared causes. Following the notion of a middle ground institution, this will notably be achieved by forging strong bonds with leading institutions, networks of social entrepreneurs, foundations, governmental organizations, etc. The Youth Empowerment Circle allows youth-focused organizations to meet, share resources and advance meaningful collaborations towards youth empowerment at the international level.
We are delighted to announce that this circle will be co-led by #LearningPlanet, Children in All Policies 2030, and Catalyst2030, together joining the strength of their respective networks to build impactful youth-focused initiatives at scale.

Do not hesitate to invite youth in your networks who may also be interested to attend either of both of these sessions, which will provide fertile ground for the Circle’s objectives and strategy moving forward. The Youth Empowerment Circle will again meet in June to discuss the takeaways and the way forward, to which you will be invited to proactively participate as well.
