Learning Planet Institute

Education is often discussed as a system to reform. But what if we approached it instead as a living architecture - one that shapes how people perceive possibility, develop agency, and imagine futures?
🔗 webinar - 3 June - 16:00 CEST: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGkuRfPakUr9GAi8ZnVr_jvLcoKdzYvbXRZBEhwa4UUhopPQ/viewform

👉 Join us for a webinar bringing together perspectives from youth advocacy, systems thinking, ethical imagination, and learning design to explore a deeper question: How do learning environments shape the futures humans are able to imagine, create, and inhabit?

🧐 You will hear from:
> Arissa Roy - an Indo-Canadian youth activist, children’s book author, and global education advocate committed to transforming how education systems serve young people
> François Taddei - President of the Learning Planet Institute, French researcher & educator
> Maria Angelica Mejia Caceres, from the Education team at LPI, will facilitate this discussion; she works at the intersection of learning architectures, systems thinking, discourse analysis, and educational transformation

We are looking forward to hear from your experiences too 🙌

This is at the heart of the Youth Design Challenge: supporting finalists not only to build stronger projects, but also to express the intention, clarity and confidence behind them. 🙌

👉 Last week, finalists of the Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge joined a mentoring and feedback session with professionals from Worldline, connecting with staff from 7 countries, across business, innovation, HR, tech and communications.

During these collaborative group sessions, finalists had the opportunity to:
1. Practice presenting their project through a clear one-minute elevator pitch 🗯️
2. Receive practical feedback on how to make their ideas more accessible and compelling ⚙️
3. Explore next steps for developing, testing and strengthening their projects 🚀

🤩 What made the exchanges especially meaningful was not only the quality of the project ideas, but the conversations behind them: why these young people are committed to solving the challenges they see in their communities, and how their projects can contribute to more inclusive, sustainable and flourishing futures.

🙏 A huge thank you to the Worldline Corporate Foundation for their support of the Challenge, to the Worldline mentors, all participating finalists, and to Gayathri and Ed from the YDC team for helping make these sessions so rich and engaging.

Next up: finalists will continue working on impactful communication, including social media storytelling and pitch decks. Stay tuned!
