Launch of the Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge 2025-26

Learning Planet Institute, supported by United Nations University and UNESCO, invites you to the official launch of the Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge 2025–26 (LPYDC). The LPYDC invites youth aged 15–26 to pitch their bold educational projects for real-world impact. Collaborating with the leaders of tomorrow, it is a launchpad for youth-led innovative learning.

Young leaders will be centre-stage: past YDC participants will share how they created and delivered their innovative and impactful projects, followed by a brilliant line-up of speakers, as we explore together how to best design the future of learning with youth.

Speakers include:
• Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director-General for Education, UNESCO
• Wendy Kopp, CEO and Co-Founder, Teach for All
• Ayaan Seshadri, Winner, Learning Planet Youth Design Challenge 2024–25
• Christina McElwaine — COO, United Nations University CPR
