In 2016, the Mission bien-être et santé des jeunes / French Youth Well-being and Health Mission estimated that one in five young people was experiencing mental distress. Subsequent assessments, conducted in part to better understand the impact of COVID-19 and/or other societal issues, confirm the growing magnitude of the problem: a significant increase in suicidal gestures and thoughts (Santé publique France / Public Health France, 2022) and the prevalence of certain mental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), dyslexia-dysorthography, mood disorders (depression), anxiety (Enabee, 2023), etc.
While this issue is not new, there is an urgent need for effective responses. As recently emphasised by the French Defender of Rights and the Haut conseil de la famille, de l’enfance et de l’âge / French High Council for Family, Childhood, and Age, the well-being and mental health of children and adolescents – essential conditions for their proper development and the success of their learning paths – now emerge as emerging, priority, and urgent topics.
The consequences of disorders affecting well-being and mental health can be extremely serious for the young person involved, as well as for the class in which they are enrolled and their environment. Moreover, these disorders often lead to a disinterest in school that can result in failure or even dropping out, as well as disruptive behaviors that can escalate to verbal or physical violence towards oneself or others. However, due to the lack of specific detection and adaptation tools and methods, teaching and educational staff find themselves ill-equipped to address these challenges…
Lisa France 2030
LISA France 2030 is a research-action and implementation project focusing on Learning, Integration, Support, and Awareness (LISA). It is an interdisciplinary and international initiative initiated in 2020, stemming from scientific research conducted by the Learning Planet Institute (co-founder Ariel B. Lindner) and iféa (alumnus and administrator of the Learning Planet Institute, co-founder of iféa, Elie Rotenberg). This project is conducted in collaboration with the Child Mind Institute, INSERM, and the Institut Robert Debré du Cerveau de l’Enfant / Robert Debré Institute for the Child’s Brain (IHU ICE).
LISA France 2030 has emerged through a multi-stakeholder/expert co-construction involving public decision-makers, healthcare professionals, researchers, educators/educational actors, students/families, and associations.
The consortium
LISA France 2030 is currently led by a consortium spearheaded by iféa and involves three partners, key players in French education and research: the École secondaire Suger / Suger Secondary School, the Learning Planet Institute and the Mission laïque française.
LISA France 2030 also relies on an Ethics and Scientific Committee composed of recognised French and international experts in the well-being and mental health of children and adolescents.
With the scientific support of
LISA France 2030 is the laureate of the Appel à Manifestation d’Intérêt / Call for Expression of Interest (AMI) in Innovation dans la forme scolaire 2023 / Innovation in School Form 2023 launched by the French government.
Operation supported by the French State as part of the France 2030 ‘Innovation in school’ scheme, operated by Caisse des Dépôts.
Our ambition
Through a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, the LISA France 2030 research-action project provides support to all teachers and educational stakeholders.
The aim is to more precisely identify the strengths and needs of students, deepen the understanding of their behaviors, and promote collaboration among members of the educational community to better support them. Thus, the project aims to address a daily need for teachers: managing the heterogeneity of the class and promoting inclusion.
Over the course of five years, LISA France 2030 will be gradually expanded to reach 6,000 teachers and approximately 70,000 students, from primary to secondary education, in 190 pilot schools in three French academies, as well as all schools under the Full Responsibility of the Mission laïque française.
Our objectives
LISA France 2030 aims to promote the fulfillment of students, both individually and collectively within the class, with an impact on well-being, the school environment, and learning outcomes.
The project’s objectives
- Enhance teachers’ capacity to observe and adapt their teaching to the strengths and needs of their students.
- Continuously enhance the proposed framework to consistently tailor it to the reality on the ground.
- Implement a research-action project as an integrated school programme.
- Roll out the project to involve 6,000 teachers and approximately 70,000 students, from primary to secondary education, in 190 French pilot establishments. Ultimately, expand the framework to other territories (national and international).
For teachers
- Equip teachers to support them in identifying and managing students’ needs.
For students
- Collaborate to build a nurturing school environment that promotes well-being.
- Encourage the potential for academic, professional, and personal development success.
Objectives
How we work
LISA France 2030 aims to enhance understanding, identify, and collaborate for better support of the well-being and mental health of students.
- Understanding better: Through the creation and implementation of an evolving and multichannel training program focused on mental health, designed for teachers and all members of the educational community.
- Identifying better: By developing and utilising a digital platform that precisely identifies the strengths and needs of each child.
- Collaborating better: By networking all stakeholders (educators, clinicians, researchers, families, associations, municipality, etc.) to encourage exchanges and facilitate their guidance.
- Supporting better: Through the creation and curation of practical and effective online resources precisely recommended based on the identified needs of each student.

La dyspraxie est fréquente et touche 5 à 7% des enfants âgés de 5-11 ans. Or, entre 9 et 12% de la population française, soit entre 6 et 8 millions de personnes,vit dans un désert médical.
« Le climat, en parler pour agir » – Réduire l’éco-anxiété chez les enfants et adolescent·e·s
L’expression « Earth Emotions », que l’on traduirait par « les émotions de la Terre », vient du philosophe Glenn Albresh pour décrire la détresse qu’il a observé chez les agriculteurs australiens face à la dégradation des terres, l’éco-anxiété. C’est ce nom que Laelia Benoit, pédopsychiatre et chercheuse à l’université de Yale (États-Unis) et à l’Inserm (France) a choisi pour son projet de recherche, dont le Learning Planet Institute est partenaire.
