Paris, December 20, 2023. It's time to take back, collectively, the power over our learning to preserve the habitability of our planet. Join us from January 22 to 27 for the 5th edition of the LearningPlanet Festival, in France and around the world.
The need to preserve the earth's habitability and make ourselves more active players in our future has given rise to a new relationship with education. The challenge now lies in scaling up and linking up the innovative initiatives that are flourishing all over the world.
Visit LearningPlanet Festival, We're coming together to revolutionize our learning models and establish practices in tune with the climatic, technological, economic and societal challenges that lie ahead. Environmental education, the place of emotions in education, intergenerational leadership, citizen science, ethics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), “artivism”: just some of the priorities of this Festival dedicated to new educational imaginaries.
Free and open to all, the LearningPlanet Festival mobilizes enthusiasts - schools, universities, institutions, cities, social innovators, networks of students and young activists, artists, media and companies - around the International Education Day (January 24).
Several hundred events, both online and face-to-face, bring together tens of thousands of people from all over the world (191 countries represented in 2023), making this Festival a not-to-be-missed international event.
With more than 300 events in 2023 and a strong local presence, the Festival of Learning, its French counterpart, is the “flagship” of the Festival. Discover the Festival de l'Apprendre program in Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Evry-Courcouronnes, Lyon, Paris, Saint-Etienne...
