24-25th of January 2021

Under the theme ‘Learning to take care of Oneself, Others and the Planet,’ the #LearningPlanet Festival synchronises the world around the celebration of the International Day of Education.

Organised in partnership with UNESCO and leading organisations across the world, the collective dream of a co-constructed festival to celebrate the International Day of Education has come true, and with incredible energy. In a time when schools, universities and youth are so deeply affected by the pandemic, the 2021 #LearningPlanet Festival invited everyone, everywhere to share and celebrate their most significant learnings to best take care of “oneself, others and the planet”. There were moments for discovering new initiatives, numerous workshops and rich exchanges between actors coming from the worlds of art, science, education, social entrepreneurship, etc.
