About the Challenge:
The Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge invites students aged 15-26 to propose learning programs aimed at creating flourishing, sustainable, and engaged universities of the future. An international jury comprising leaders from universities, youth networks, and social enterprises will select 20 finalists. Three laureates will present their projects at the LearningPlanet Festival 2025, which coincides with the International Day of Education (January 24, 2025). All finalists will receive monthly training to refine their proposals, build essential relationships, and learn fundraising techniques to support their projects.
Lets come together to co-design the future of learning with youth!
