We reinvent the way we learn to change the society we live in.
Democracy
We believe in democracy as a way forward to ensure that the world becomes a better place.
True Democracy
True democracy happens through active participation.
Human Rights
Human Rights are the basis of a society in which happiness can become a birth right.
Foundations
Human Rights are the foundation stones of equity, participation, dialogue and common action.
Education
What we teach today reflects is kind of society we want to live in in the future.
Competences
Mindful education allows for the conscious development of learners’ competences: instructionally smart and socially savvy.
Change
In a world which seems to be increasingly dominated by chaos, change is the only constant.
Learning
Learning can be a blow to one’s self-esteem, that’s why we learn to change and change to learn.
Our vision is a world in which education is the foundation of a just, inclusive and thriving society.
Why Learn to Change?
Learn to Change is a non governmental organisation. Our strength is our members. L2C is about each of us, as educators, as life-long learners, as teachers, as parents, as social, political and cultural actors who care and can act for change in education, and learning the social good.
Our actions support the development of the whole person, excellence within a frame of social justice and creative human emancipation.
L2C promotes individual personal growth.
Supports professional development with a focus on change.
L2C strives for transformation in educational practice worldwide.
We believe in the power of education to promote change in society.
The Challenge for Educators
In an increasingly complex world in which more or less radical changes take place at all levels of social life, we believe that we need to re-think education. The sustainability of the objectives and content of education have to be put to the test; teachers’ roles, the teaching process and school as a learning organization must be reconsidered.
In April 2014, a Manifesto: ‘Education for Change – Change for Education’ that calls for an important change of mind-sets, of policies and practices by 200 teachers present at a conference organized by the Council of Europe*.
As L2C strives to carry on the message of the Manifesto, we – the members – stress the importance of education for preparing our youth and adults for a life as democratic citizens in diverse democratic societies, for their future in a global workforce and for the development of their personality. We focus on the implications this has for the image and ethos of the teaching profession and other educators.
We act to support the development of the values and competences that all educators need in their day-to-day practices to answer the challenges that lie ahead.
*The manifesto was authored by representatives of the Community of Practice of the Pestalozzi Programme of the Council of Europe and the working group “Teachers’ Profession in the 21st Century” of the Education and Culture Committee of the Conference of International Non-governmental Organisations of the Council of Europe.
Learn to Change provides a learning community to develop individual and collective potential to co-create and participate in a sustainable, open and peaceful society.
We place the human relationship at the center of all learning, building the conditions for meaningful learning in safe learning environments.
We promote educational transformation through consultancy, training courses, workshops, coaching, conferences and publications.
We guarantee a transformative experience that generates conditions for sustained personal and professional growth leading to change.
Many teachers entering the profession today will be teaching in 2050 and beyond.
