Our Programs

Our programs are designed and facilitated by our youth hosts and global partners in transformative education. We support education activists of all ages - with a particular focus on youth ages 15 to 26 - to build the capacity and confidence they need to co-create a more thriving world for themselves, their communities and the planet.

The Café Experience 2025

The YouthxYouth Cafés are intergenerational small group conversations for experienced youth activists and adult allies who seek to build relationships and co-create tangible actions in service of complex challenges in education transformation. Each of this year’s Cafés will be groups of 10-15 people (likely 8-10 youth and 3-5 adult allies) who meet each day of our Learning Festival (January 24th, 25th, and 26th) to connect, co-create, and explore this year’s theme: "Education for the End of the World as We Know It."

Together with your cafe co-activists,  you’ll ask: What does it mean to foster an education that embraces the end of outdated paradigms? Through these conversations, you will explore how to grieve what has been lost, hospice what no longer serves us, and renew a shared hope for a more beautiful, resilient world.

Cafés will happen at 1pm UTC each day.

2025 Learning Festival Registration

In this time of great transition, deep suffering, hope and reflection, we write to invite you to our fifth annual YouthxYouth Learning Festival on January 24th, 25th, and 26th.  This youth-led 3-day learning journey is the culminating experience of a week-long Learning Planet Festival around the International Day of Education.

EDUCATION FOR THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: FOR A WORLD WHERE MANY WORLDS BELONG.

Join us as we gather in community to feel, heal, dream, and nurture the educational landscapes that our times demand. In a time of great uncertainty, how can we grieve what has been lost, let go of what no longer serves us, and renew our active hope in co-creating a more beautiful world? Through gathering together across countries and generations we'll explore the role of education in helping us navigate this transition.

Over the three days we will be guided by this key question: ‘What kind of education might enable us to face the end of the world as we know it and, in its place, to build many worlds where all life belongs?’

DAY 1 - WHAT IS: FACING (What do we need to open our eyes to?)

DAY 2 - WHAT IF: GROWING UP (Who do we need to become?)

DAY 3 - WHAT NOW: SHOWING UP (How do we start/continue to show up in these times?)

If this resonates with you, piques your curiosity, feels challenging (or maybe somewhere in between), we warmly welcome you to join us on this three day learning journey.
