The program was transformative: it helped me connect my personal purpose (Ikigai) to real-world challenges. I leave not only with knowledge, but with confidence and total clarity about my goals for the future and the kind of change I want to contribute to.

This program has helped me to move beyond simple awareness to a real understanding of how to act. It provides concrete tools for turning ideas into climate solutions. In a world where the challenge seems immense, this MOOD reminds us that action starts small, but grows stronger together.

“In the MOOD for Climate Action”

“In the MOOD for Peaceful Futures”

Building global bridges to peace
[Under construction]

L’Youth Talks survey, which surveyed over 46,000 young people (aged 19-24) in 2023, revealed that “peace” is their top priority.
A independent study based on face-to-face discussions with 4,230 young people, as well as research conducted in 27 countries, demonstrates the positive role of young people in peacekeeping.

And yet, young people's participation in formal peace processes remains limited: no political space, no representation, their voices are not heard.

In the MOOD for Peaceful Futures - created by the Learning Planet Institute with Global Education Futures - will be based on the same teaching methods as In the MOOD For Climate Action.

This journey will explore how concrete local initiatives can build peaceful societies.
