    20 years serving global education

      We work with governments and institutions to co-design bold public policies, creating neutral spaces for dialogue that enable sustainable and inclusive educational reform.

    If we are to be able to offer a present and a future that work for everyone, meaningful involvement of young people must become the norm rather than the exception (...) It's not enough to listen to them, we must involve them fully in local, national and international decision-making.

    António Guterres
    Secretary-General of the United Nations

    The future will be co-created with young people: they are incubators of solutions!

    Stefania Giannini
    Assistant Director-General for Education at UNESCO & Administrator of the Learning Planet Institute

    We do not want to train learners to be the best IN the world, but FOR the world and empower them to become citizens of the planet.

    François Taddei
    Founder & President of the Learning Planet Institute

    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...
