Inspiring journeys
Former learners from the Learning Planet Institute, now actors of the change they wanted to see in the world.
The Institute allowed me to develop my personality, almost without realising it. The confidence that was instilled in me worked like silent magic. I was given opportunities, not just any opportunities: the best opportunities, to reveal what was inside me. I would like to thank all those who have accompanied me. What you do goes beyond the “simple” perimeter of teaching: you shape personalities, you reveal potential... Thank you so much for your trust...
My most vivid memory is of the group discussions (...). I realised the extent to which our different backgrounds conditioned us to think about the world's problems (...) within a certain framework, and the wealth we all had to gain from sharing (...). I think that these exchanges were crucial in the formulation of my research questions.
The Institute transformed me. No other place houses such a concentration of talent! We are given an incredible space to trust and truly believe in our potential. The impact on me has been lasting.
The Learning Planet Institute breaks down the barriers to daring. There's an audacity, a latent madness in us, and it's coming out! It's a big RESET of the machine. They're trying to de-format us so that we can build ourselves in our own way.
The Learning Planet Institute has done a lot for me. I owe the success of my career to the Institute. (...) I didn't know how to do research. I was able to explore my own path (...) If you're really interested, you have everything you need to become who you want to be. (...) I'd love to go back there.
