A learning society facilitates individual and collective learning, so that the knowledge and experience of some can help others to learn and innovate more easily. It learns how to learn by organizing the learning of each and every structure, from human beings to machines. It relies on research and digital possibilities, and is open to innovations from all over the world, adapting them to its ecosystem when they are relevant. In this way, a learning society develops its ability to adapt in a world of ever-increasing change.
This can give rise to fears and the temptation to withdraw. It can therefore better meet its challenges, and enable every citizen and every young person to contribute to meeting their own. Thanks to flexible public governance, it federates everyone's efforts and gains from collaborating with other learning societies to build together a larger entity, a learning planet, capable of meeting challenges including those set out in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It's a question of creating new modes of organization, mobilizing collective intelligence and affirming values to be able to collectively build the world of tomorrow.
