Learnlife was founded when Christopher Pommerening realized the traditional education model couldn’t prepare children for a rapidly changing world. Today, Learnlife’s three hubs in Catalonia empower over 250 young people to design their own learning journeys, build critical human skills, and develop the confidence and resilience to thrive in an uncertain future.
Recent milestones and why this matters now:
-
The Village Hub opened in September 2024, offering holistic, passion-based learning for primary and secondary students—without standardized exams.
-
Learnlife was named one of the top 100 innovations changing education worldwide in HundrED’s Global Collection in 2023
-
Recognised in HundrED's "Spotlight on Child-centred Learning" as one of 14 innovations from over 200 submissions for its outstanding contribution to child-centred education.
-
Launched LearnGuides in 2023, which has trained 600 educators and helped 60 schools worldwide to shift to a learner-centred approach to learning.
-
With AI advancing faster than ever, Learnlife is leading the conversation about making education more human, not less.
We’d love to connect you with Founder Christopher Pommerening, Devin Carberry or Stephen Harris, education experts, or arrange a visit to one of Learnlife’s hubs. They can discuss:
-
Why exams are no longer fit for purpose
-
How the learning vitae and authentic assessment work
-
How Learnlife’s model is letting kids choose their own career path
If you’re interested in a feature, interview, or visiting Learnlife’s hubs, I’m happy to coordinate.
Thank you for considering this story about the future of learning.
Warm regards,
Kat
