In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the emergence of intergenerational collaboration and leadership marks a pivotal shift transforming education.

At the heart of this transformation lies a network of organizations, convened by Salzburg Global Seminar and Big Change, who are on a journey dedicated to exploring how to share power and unite generations to transform education. See the collective here

First step : A guide for putting Intergenerational events into action!

A significant stride in this journey has been the launch of a guide for implementing intergenerational collaboration within educational spaces. One year on from the Transforming Education Summit and the launch of the Youth Declaration, the guide offers a starting point for all those committed to sharing power and taking an inclusive approach to transforming education! To find out more about the guide, see here.

Stepping Forward: Bringing the Intergenerational Track of LearningPlanet Festival!

An upcoming milestone for the collective is leading and embodying the Intergenerational track during the approaching LearningPlanet Festival, a global celebration of Education. Partners will host events worldwide to promote collaboration and leadership across generations.

Key questions include :

  • What skills and behaviors foster successful intergenerational collaboration and leadership?
  • What impedes or obstructs the path to intergenerational collaboration and leadership?
  • What does education look like when intergenerational collaboration becomes its cornerstone?

Core Events: Navigating the Intergenerational Collaboration Frontier

The cornerstones of the intergenerational track include :

  • The Global Big Education Conversation:

On January 24th, World Education Day, the Global Big Education Conversation (BEC) will be hosting their first ever conversation relay! During this event, a global community will come together to talk about one big question – what do you believe is the purpose of education?

  • Building a Planetizen University in collaboration with University for the Planet

On January 25th, LearningPlanet Alliance alongside University for the Planet will be hosting a session bringing together partners across institutional bodies, university leaders, community leaders and youth leaders to co-create a Planetizen University

The session will also include a celebration honoring the finalists of the inaugural Planetizen University Youth Design Challenge. This challenge has brought together participants from across the globe, showcasing their visionary learning programs aimed at fostering flourishing, engaged, and sustainable universities of the future.

  • Salzburg Global Seminar:

In May of this year Salzburg Global Seminar, alongside Big Change, hosted a  Transforming Education Co-Action Summit where a 3-year strategy to transform education through intergenerational collaboration was co-created! This coming festival season Salzburg Global Seminar will be hosting a series of sessions with a focus on Education and Active Citizenship, Collaborative Leadership, and Socio-Emotional Learning!

More information is coming soon!

  • YouthxYouth Learning Festival:

From January 26th to 28th, YouthxYouth will be hosting their fourth annual Learning Festival in collaboration with LearningPlanet Institute. During this iteration of this festival YouthxYouth will be exploring intergenerational collaboration through their intergenerational cafe experiences where 8 cafes will explore 8 different themes around the transformation of education.

Culmination: iterating the guide and beyond

We are looking forward to the seeds being sown throughout this intergenerational Festival,   which we are hopeful will sprout into learnings for  V2  of the guide. The pursuit of intergenerational collaboration in education isn’t just a chapter in the book of transformation; it’s the narrative that shapes an inclusive and thriving educational ecosystem for generations to come!
