I learnt a lot, from geopolitics to the sciences, and saw how interconnected things are. A holistic education you don’t get in the formal sector.

Designed so holistically that it opened my eyes to opportunities out there. So different and diversifying, from geopolitics to math to leadership.

Limitless, boundless learning, and unbelievable fun, because you do it with other people. We learnt to innovate, to present, to think differently.

It inspired me to be aware of what’s happening around me and to be curious in general. I’d eagerly wait for the next session.

The way technology was used to deliver so many concepts was new and interesting. It gave me the perspective of doing my own research.

Play gives knowledge a job to do.
In a simulation, you have a role, a decision and people who may disagree. Research helps you prepare. Discussion tests your reasoning. Writing makes your position clear enough for someone else to question.
Debate a decision Investigate a case Build a prototype Question the evidence Write an argument
Follow the connections between subjects.
A climate decision involves science, economics and politics. A business idea needs mathematics, design and communication. Our curriculum uses questions like these to bring subjects into the same conversation.
Five skills, practised through the work.
The 5 C’s give students and mentors a shared language for what they are practising.
Critical Thinking
Compare sources and explain why one claim is better supported.
Creativity
Try a different approach, then test whether it works.
Collaboration
Negotiate priorities and make a decision with other people.
Curiosity
Follow a question beyond the first answer.
Communication
Make an argument another person can follow and question.

Which programme is right for me?

What will students actually do?
Depending on the programme, students represent a delegation, discuss a policy question, test a business idea or develop original research. The work gives them practice in using evidence, making decisions, speaking and writing.
Can I use the Writing Studio without joining a programme?
Yes. Submission access is available to Essential members and eligible enrolled students. Sign in to check your access. An editor reviews submitted work, and accepted Studio papers receive a published page and a verifiable certificate of publication.
Does Essential include programme fees?
Essential is a separate membership for the Learnacy Hub and Writing Studio. Flagship programmes and mentorship are booked separately. The membership page lists the current price and access details.
What are the dates, format and fees?
The programme cards show the listed cohorts, delivery mode and fees. Open a programme for its full details and registration options. Mentorship is arranged through an enquiry.
