Building a Brighter Future Faster: Reid Hoffman on AI's Transformative Power
January 21, 2026
Estimated time commitment: 60 minutes
We are thrilled to host LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman at the launch of Teach For All’s AI AAA Series – a new speaker series where the AI Literacy & Creator Collective community can share their Aspirations, Ambitions, and Apprehensions about AI in education across our global network!
Reid Hoffman's Manas AI is revolutionizing drug discovery through generative AI models – offering powerful lessons for education's transformation. Just as traditional drug development is "inefficient and lacks scalability," traditional educational innovation faces similar limitations. Reid, just like the educators across the Teach For All community, is on a journey to create a brighter future for us all. Reid through medicine. We, through education
Join us as we explore Reid’s AI AAA:
- Aspirations: How foundational AI models can encode expertise – whether medical or educational
- Ambitions: Why building interdisciplinary human teams that combine AI with domain mastery powers innovation
- Apprehensions: Ensuring speed doesn't compromise safety, in drug trials or classrooms
Want to share your own AI AAA story? Following this launch event, we'll open opportunities for you to become a featured speaker and share your AI perspectives with educators and organisations/Network Partners.

People First Talk with François Taddei: Learning, Collective Intelligence, and Leading Through Complexity
January 27, 2026
Estimated time commitment: 60 minutes
In the next People First Talk, we’ll hear from François Taddei, an evolutionary biologist and systems thinker, and founder of the Learning Planet Institute, a global movement exploring how new ways of learning and cooperation can help humanity rise to the complex challenges of our time and shape a better planet.
Drawing on his work on collective intelligence, lifelong learning, and planetizenship, François invites us to reimagine learning as a shared, ethical, and deeply human endeavor, one that is co-created with young people so communities can learn to take care of themselves, one another, and the planet.
We’ll explore:
- What co-creation with young people truly means in practice
- A call for ethical dream-weaving in shaping our shared futures
- How challenging our dominant frames can unlock more generative leadership
This call will take place on January 27, 2026 at 10:30am EST, 4:30pm CEST, 6:30pm EAT and will be facilitated in English.

What Will It Take to Equip Students to Shape a Better Future?
January 27, 2026
Estimated time commitment: 90 minutes
As young people living through rapid change — environmental, social, and technological — we know education must do more than prepare us for tests; it must prepare us for life. In this interactive workshop, we’ll ask: what will it take to equip students to shape a better future?
We believe one answer lies in reimagining who we see as leaders. Too often, students are told to wait — to finish school, to gain experience, to grow older — before they can lead. But the challenges we face today can’t wait. This session will explore how education can shift the notion of age and leadership, creating spaces where students are recognized as leaders now — capable of shaping change in their schools, communities, and beyond. Together, we’ll unpack the mindsets, environments, and partnerships that can turn learning into a force for collective action and transformation.
This call will take place on January 27th, 2026 at 12:30pm GMT and will be held in English. If you need live interpretation of the experience and/or translation of materials in additional languages to support your engagement, please indicate this via the registration/application form. We welcome all requests and will work to provide appropriate language support measures. However, please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all requests.

Equipping Students and Youth to Thrive: Insights on Microcredentials
January 28, 2026
Estimated time commitment: 75 minutes
Join the session to explore how microcredentials — short, stackable, and verifiable learning experiences — can help students and youth thrive in future careers. Drawing on recent research and global case studies, Pedro Moreno da Fonseca will share practical insights and actionable recommendations for career education leaders.
Learn how microcredentials can complement traditional education, recognize both skills and mindsets, and support students’ transitions into meaningful work. Walk away with strategies you can apply to strengthen your programs and enhance career outcomes for the students and youth you serve.
The objectives for this session are to:
- Understand the relevance of microcredentials in preparing youth for future careers, including the recognition of skills, competencies, and mindsets beyond academics.
- Identify strategic considerations for integrating microcredentials into career education programs, including quality, credibility, and alignment with labor market needs.
- Draw practical lessons from research and pilot cases to inform organizational decisions, program design, and investment in student and youth career readiness initiatives.
- Reflect on applications for their own work and consider actionable ways to leverage microcredentials to enhance career outcomes for the students and youth they serve.
Target audience: Global Career Educacion Network members, Teach For All network educators, staff from partner organizations, and external stakeholders passionate about preparing students for future careers.
This session will be held in English, with interpretation in Spanish and Arabic.

This online, self-paced program has been designed to help learners explore how education systems are impacted by unexpected crises, such as war or natural disasters. This 'EiE' online course is made up of 5 modules that address the foundations of emergency education, including virtual visits to explore teaching and learning inside real crisis-affected classrooms.
The objective is to build a foundational knowledge of EiE and to hear directly from students and teachers who have been caught up in crises. By the end of this course, we hope that participants will have a better understanding of how Teach For All network partners have responded to different emergencies, and learn more about the principles which guide our network’s approach to working in humanitarian contexts
This self-paced online course is open to all network staff members, participants and alumni.

The Teach For All + Oak Foundation Inclusive Education Course invites innovative teachers and teacher coaches from across our global network and beyond to join an interactive course focused on inclusive education for learners with disabilities and learning differences.
The course centers on who learners are aware (understand the social, political and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others).
Through this course, we will individually and collectively reflect on Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition to support us in creating reimagined and inclusive environments that allow every child to shine and create a better world for themselves and all of us.
