Self-Directed Education
Resource Directory

We’re thrilled by the incredible response the Festival has received in recent weeks from partners such as Teach for All, Brookings Institution, UN SDSN, Arizona State University, Global Students Forum, UNESCO, KnowledgeWorks, Beyond Education, Learning Designers Community, EUDEC, World Systems Solutions, among many others. The programme already showcases a wide range of topics including meaningful youth engagement, mental health and wellbeing, sustainability and planetary health, peace and democracy, the future of teaching and learning, and EdTech and AI. This is just the beginning – with more events being submitted every day.

The deadline for event submissions is December 23, 2025.

The official dates of the Festival are 21-28 January, but we have an extended 2-week window from 16 – 31 January where you can host your event. This is to offer more flexibility for all our international partners.
