The UNESCO Chair in Learning Sciences: an initiative to build a learning society <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent report by Reses<\/a>, 69 % of students would like their studies to provide better training in transition issues. At a time when crises and changes are accelerating, it is urgent to reflect on and adapt to the new skills and knowledge needed for transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this backdrop, the \u201cSciences of Learning\u201d Chair was launched in 2014 with the aim of combining research, pedagogy and technology to support teachers, researchers, teams and stakeholder collectives in building a learning society for a more sustainable world. It is based on the conviction that youth, learning at all ages of life and collective intelligence are the levers for the necessary transformation of our societies. The four-year \u201cSciences de l'apprendre\u201d program has been renewed for 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cSciences of Learning\u201d Chair supports <\/strong>UNESCO's four priority objectives<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \u201cEnsuring equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all (...)\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u201cWork to build sustainable societies and protect the environment (...)\u201d.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the period 2022-2026, the Chair has chosen to focus its work on the activities of the following clusters R&D<\/a>, Education<\/a> and International Alliance<\/a> of the Learning Planet Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As part of the Chair, a series of conferences on the theme of transitions <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How can we learn in an uncertain context, and how can learning ecosystems help us move from adversity to prosperity?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    This was the subject of the inaugural conference organized on October 19, 2023 at the Learning Planet Institute in support of UNESCO's first goal: \u201cEnsuring equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, in order, inter alia, to reduce inequalities and promote learning and creative societies, especially in the digital age\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
