International Alliance
An international and learning community
Created in 2019 by the Learning Planet Institute and UNESCO, the International Alliance is a global community of practice dedicated to the transformation of education and to the co-construction of a learning society.
Throughout the year, the International Alliance team leads a network of multiple actors with a highlight – the LearningPlanet Festival – organised each year around International Education Day (24 January).
The LearningPlanet
Alliance
- The LearningPlanet Alliance brings together diverse complementary actors (NGOs, public actors, cities and territories, schools and universities, social entrepreneurs, companies, students, youth movements, activists, artists…) committed to a common goal: to teach individuals how to “take care of themselves, the others and the planet”.
Together, they share their knowledge, their pedagogical practices and their field experiences (creating new ways of learning, teaching, researching and mobilising collective intelligence), in order to better prepare individuals and organisations to understand and face, collectively, the challenges of our time.

The LearningPlanet
Festival
The LearningPlanet Festival is organised each year for International Education Day (January 24) in partnership with UNESCO and hundreds of pioneering organisations in the fields of education, culture, science, social and environmental impact, as well as with thousands of students and young activists from around the world.
The hundreds of events, both on site and online, are opportunities to share ideas and projects in progress, to launch initiatives, and to meet the actors that are committed to adapting our learning models to the accelerated transitions of the 21st century.
