François Taddei, co-founder and president of the Learning Planet Institute, is an internationally renowned researcher. 

Convinced that the future of learning must be co-constructed with learners, he explores educational transitions and “planetizenship” — learning to care for oneself, others and the planet. 

He advocates large-scale collaboration to co-build — with all stakeholders, from young people to UNESCO and the United Nations University (UNU) — a Learning Planet Academy, powered by technology and grounded in interdisciplinary sciences. 

His goal is not to train the best students in in the world, but the best students for for the world — by strengthening their agency and their ability to care for global commons and to become “the change they wish to see in the world.”
