Hub Types

Learnhubs come in all shapes and sizes that can be adapted to the needs of your local context, from Hublings to full-fledged Lighthouse Hubs.


1. Context

A hub’s context is closely linked to where it is located and the purpose for which the hub has been built.


Standalone Hub

A space completely dedicated to the Learnlife learning offerings; e.g. Barcelona Urban Hub.


Connected Hub

Close to an existing school or learning environment, forming part of a campus.


In-House Hub

Inside a school, co-working space or other space with a complementary purpose.


2. Structure

A hub’s structure is closely linked to the available financial resources, target market and the proposed timeline for the hub’s opening.


Pop-Up Hub

Quick solution: prefabricated structures of varying sizes that can be dropped into open spaces for a temporary amount of time. Lowest time and financial investment needed.


Refurbished Hub

An existing space is transformed into a hub. e.g. The Barcelona Urban Hub was previously a lawyers’ office.


Greenfield Hub

A newly constructed hub, built from the ground up. Requires the highest time and financial investment. e.g. Life Hamburg.


3. Size

A hub’s size is closely linked to the activities and studios offered. The studios will dictate the layout and fit out of the space.


Hubling

Very small hubs (+60m2) built inside existing spaces (a museum, coffee shop, school, etc.). Studios are used to empower studio-based learning methodologies.


Bespoke Hub

A hub that fits the needs of a larger community or one that is expected to grow. Sizes vary.


Lighthouse

A campus-like environment that houses a Learnhub and a variety of complementary services such as a coding school, wellness centre, volunteer centre and so on. Sizes vary.

Activities & Studios

The structure of our Learnhubs is flexible in order to maximise impact and reach within the community. Their value is in their capacity to offer varied learning experiences which can be defined by your local context and learners' needs.
Activities

Activities

The hub can have full-time, part-time, afternoon, weekend and summer programmes, teacher training, co-working spaces, school/company visits and so on.

Learnlife-branded or self-branded Learnhub?

Are you passionate about learning innovation and want to recreate the Learnlife experience adapted to your city’s needs?

We support you to fully embrace the new learning paradigm by empowering you with our best practices. Our team will help you implement a proven and successful innovative education model for the 21st century through a comprehensive knowledge transfer.

Do you already have a hub, school or other education project, whether online or in a physical space, and want to implement certain specific elements of a Learnlife-branded hub?

Then the self-branded option is the best way to go. This is also a viable option if you don’t yet have a hub, but have your own strong philosophy, ethos or vision that differs from Learnlife’s.

In order to assure a consistent quality of the Learnlife experience, some services are mandatory as a minimum for Learnlife-branded Learnhubs.

We offer a pack of services and support for partners who want to recreate the Learnlife Learnhub experience in their own location.
