That's a wrap for the LearningPlanet Festival 2026!
We are delighted to share that the 7th edition of the LearningPlanet Festival has officially wrapped up – and it’s been our biggest and most vibrant one yet! With over 800 events (670 listed on our platform and ~ 150 local events in France) and more than 500 partner organisations involved globally, the Festival truly reflected a worldwide movement for reimagining education, bringing together participants from over 190 countries. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners, organisers, and participants for making this possible. We could not have done it without your energy, ideas, and commitment to change.

Placing youth participation and intergenerational leadership at the core
The Learning Planet Institute is now recognised as the United Nations University (UNU) Hub on the Future of Learning with Youth in the Age of AI. The Festival embodies this partnership, reaffirming our commitment to place youth participation and intergenerational leadership at the heart of education transformation.
Together, we seek to foster dialogue across generations, co-create with young people, and empower them to actively shape the decisions and solutions of tomorrow. We call on partners to put youth at the center of their Festival events – creating spaces where young people can engage, contribute, and lead the way forward. Refer to our guide below on intergenerational convenings for inspiration, practical tips, and concrete steps to support your event design.
