What are #LearningPlanet circles?
#LearningPlanet circles connect like-minded communities with common causes. Following the notion of the intermediary institution, this will be achieved by forging strong links with leading institutions, networks of social entrepreneurs, foundations, governmental organizations and more. The Youth Empowerment Circle enables youth-focused organizations to meet, share resources and advance meaningful collaborations for youth empowerment on an international level.
We are delighted to announce that this circle will be co-directed by #LearningPlanet, Children in All Policies 2030 and Catalyst2030, who will combine the strength of their respective networks to implement impactful youth-focused initiatives on a large scale.
