Our youth engagement programmes

The Institute allowed me to develop my personality, almost without realising it. The confidence that was instilled in me worked like silent magic. I was given opportunities, not just any opportunities: the best opportunities, to reveal what was inside me. I would like to thank all those who have accompanied me. What you do goes beyond the “simple” perimeter of teaching: you shape personalities, you reveal potential... Thank you so much for your trust...

The LPI has given me the opportunity to meet extraordinary people who are open-minded, passionate and curious (...) I've learnt to have the right to dare, to fail and to learn from it in order to move forward (...) This humanist, intellectual and cultural crossroads is always benevolent, even with the most eccentric profiles. Thanks to LPI, I've been able to inject so many innovative projects into my professional life! (...) Everyone has taken their own path, followed their own inspiration, sometimes groping and experimenting, but always with the ability to get off the beaten track, to try things out, with an innovative vision. These influences will only grow, for the benefit of a better world with leaders like these.

The Learning Planet Institute breaks down the barriers to daring. There's an audacity, a latent madness in us, and it's coming out! It's a big RESET of the machine. They're trying to de-format us so that we can build ourselves in our own way.

When I was 20, I said that the only job I didn't want to do was be a researcher... We all change our minds! (...) You don't have to follow a straight path to become a researcher today

The Institut is a place that has transformed me. No other place has such a concentration of talent! (...) At the Learning Planet Institute, they give us an incredible amount of confidence (...) They really believe in our potential for action (...) My time at the Institute has really had a long-term impact on me.

There were about fifteen different nationalities (...) The link between games and learning was explored in great depth, and was very interesting (...) We were shown how important it is to know where you're going (...) During my internship, we created a MOOC on critical thinking, data science, digital publishing... The subjects were extremely varied. I learned a lot of different things

What I love is the great freedom given to students. We always find support to bring our ideas to life, even the most innovative ones, with an open mind and without judgement (...) The LPI offers a real openness to international perspectives, interdisciplinarity and creativity. All thesis topics focus on ecological and social issues. I finally feel like I belong The LPI offers a truly international, interdisciplinary and creative outlook. All the thesis topics focus on ecological and social issues. I finally feel like I belong.

The biggest lesson I learned at the Institute? To trust myself, to seize every opportunity to discuss, act and collaborate.

We used to be told, “Make your own path, you're on your own!” The Master's program, which is devoid of lectures, emphasizes critical and entrepreneurial thinking. (...) Generally speaking, there's a real generosity towards young people within the Master's program. It's not a case of “you young people don't know anything”, but quite the opposite!

My most vivid memory is of the group discussions (...). I realised how much our different educational backgrounds conditioned us to think about the world's problems (...) within a certain framework, and how much we all had to gain from sharing (...). I think that such exchanges were crucial in formulating my research questions

What I like about the Institut is that everything is more or less possible.

The Learning Planet Institute has done a lot for me. I owe the success of my career to the Institute. (...) I didn't know how to do research. I was able to explore my own path (...) If you're really interested, you have everything you need to become who you want to be. (...) I'd love to go back there.

The approach at the Learning Planet Institute is less traditional, more mixed, with greater interdisciplinarity. Teachers, researchers and students all work in the same place
