Learning World Concept

Education is a pillar of societies all around the world and as such strikes a chord with people across the planet whatever their background. We want our stories to have personal and global resonance.

Our viewers will travel the globe with Learning World and see and hear a vast range of stories covering the many facets of education. Our reports will inform, entertain, inspire, shock, move, surprise... We'll be looking at the present day, but also investigating the shape of education to come.

Join us each week for Learning World.

You can also see all our Learning World reports on the website of our partner WISE.
