Launched in 2020 by the Learning Planet Institute in partnership with UNESCO, the LearningPlanet Festival has been organised each January to celebrate the International Day of Education, bringing together hundreds of thousands of participants from 193 countries. In 2026, the festival returns for its 7th edition, from 21–28 January 2026, as part of a growing global movement to reimagine education in the 21st century.
Transforming education cannot be done in isolation – it demands collective action. By fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders, the Festival amplifies voices and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on the Global South, strengthening an open coalition committed to advancing a shared learning agenda that equips youth and communities to shape a better future for all.
