Our approach is recognised and supported by UNESCO and the United Nations University, ensuring the academic quality and real-world relevance of our programmes in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With over 20 years of expertise in educational innovation and pedagogical research, we are transforming learning and training at every stage of life — so they can meet today’s and tomorrow’s planetary challenges.
We combine project-based learning, action research and Design Thinking to learn through experimentation, collaboration and purpose.
Grounded in research, strengthened by AI and co-created with young people, our approach builds the capacity to act on the most critical challenges:
R&D covers the Institute's cross-functional research and development activities.
With over 20 years“ expertise in educational research, a dedicated research unit, 65 researchers and an average of 100 PhD students per year, it imparts rigorous scientific methods and nurtures the flagship activities of our Learning Planet Academy, particularly on topics such as learning transitions, the role of AI, impact assessment and co-construction with young people.
As experts in technology(s) for education, we implement the digital tools that support our Learning Planet Academy, experiment with innovative solutions using AI, and bridge the gap with European research and development projects in pedagogy and citizen science on which we collaborate.
In addition, the Learning Planet Institute develops and deploys innovative digital tools facilitating learning and transformation.
Our aim? To give everyone the means to learn, including about themselves, to do research and to act, together.
Our international programs are not imposed, but co-constructed with the people who are primarily concerned: the young people themselves.
Direct and permanent alignment with the United Nations“ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the priorities of the Education 2030 Agenda: each of our international programs contributes to SDG 4 (”Ensure equal access to quality education for all, and promote lifelong learning opportunities").
The Learning Planet Institute's Labs are the heart of our innovation ecosystem.
A veritable «Think and Do Tank», this unique space for reflection and experimentation lies at the fertile intersection of research, training, entrepreneurship and student projects.
The LearningPlanet Festival takes place on a decentralized, global scale, with online, on-site and hybrid events aimed at shaping the future of learning.
Every year in January, on International Education Day, it brings together hundreds of thousands of participants from 193 countries.
This initiative showcases new models of learning ecosystems adapted to the countries of the South, and enables the sharing of expertise across the globe. These learning ecosystems devise holistic solutions to overcome structural obstacles to learning, such as poverty, violence and conflict.
This innovative, lively and free resource highlights local and international initiatives promoting peace, cooperation and social transformation around the world. A practical and inspiring tool that shows how everyone, at their own level, can take action for a more peaceful future.
Building a learning society for a more sustainable world
Building a learning society for a more sustainable world
Bringing together research, pedagogy and technology, this Chair supports teachers, researchers, teams and networks of stakeholders in building a learning society for a more sustainable world. It is founded on a strong belief: that youth, lifelong learning and collective intelligence are the most powerful drivers of positive change in our societies.
