Synchronizing the world around the celebration of learning

Synchronizing the world around the celebration of learning.

By showcasing effective and diverse ways to take care of oneself, others and the planet, the #LearningPlanet Festival invites everyone, everywhere to reflect on their most significant learnings and share what they want to learn next. On the International Day of Education (24 January), the annual #LearningPlanet Festival encourages people around the world to meet, join forces and launch meaningful projects for their communities.

For the #LP Festival 2021 edition, we are preparing:

  • a platform for everyone to create and document their own #LP Festival and share online toolkits on how to organise thriving local events (talks, workshops, etc.); all types of learning communities willing to contribute will be invited to co-design and share such toolkits;
  • a highly participative online process to invite individuals and organisations around the world to contribute to the global celebration by nominating inspiring figures and places, identifying exemplary learning communities and/or writing stories about learning for SDGs.

Stay tuned! “The Festival aims at spreading a culture of hope and engagement by placing youth and learning at the heart of the SDG framework.”
