Professional Services
Our Learn Services allow you to build a personal package for your needs. We have five major services that you can purchase and combine as you see fit.

2) Building Your Team
People are at the heart of everything we do at Learnlife, and we believe that building your team is one of the most essential parts of creating real change, whether that be hiring new talent or finding champions internally.
Recruitment
Recruiting educators, school leaders or other profiles for your organisation.
Assessment
Assessing internal people to evaluate if they are fit for the mindset shift.
“Finding people with the right mindset and skillset as learning facilitators was challenging. We often had staff who were not up to the challenge with high rotation. Working with Learnlife helped us focus our aims and recruit people to meet our needs."
Arco Bern, Switzerland
3) LearnTeams: Implement Learning Innovation
A facilitator from Learnlife will support you to assemble a team of educators from within your school, choose a learning innovation, and implement it in your programme. An in-house trainer from Learnlife will accompany your team to achieve this goal through work sprints, mentoring, and live training sessions.
These are the topics we can support you with:
Passion-based learning
How to create learning experiences that are relevant, engaging, and meaningful to students, allowing them to explore their passions and connect what they learn in the classroom to their personal interests and future goals.
Maker Culture and practices
How to emphasize hands-on, DIY learning, experimentation, and creativity. Grow communities that value collaboration, sharing, and the open exchange of knowledge and resources, and that encourage individuals to tinker, iterate, and learn through the process of making.
Design and use of learning spaces
Rethinking the traditional classroom to create spaces that foster creativity, collaboration, and student-centred learning. How to utilize the space you already have to allow multiple, dynamic configurations that promote a culture of active and engaged students.
“Our vision was to bring the school into the 21st century in terms of Projects and Methodologies. Our students and team have learned and implemented passion-based learning, and the result has been a kind, profound and persistent change for the school."
Acesco School, Barcelona
4) Pedagogical Days: On-site Training
Professional development tailored to your needs as a learning community is crucial to the transformation of every school. We meet you where you are and we accompany you to where you want to be, whether it is a methodological training, vision creation session or implementation of a specific project.
“Our biggest challenge was the shift towards the growth mindset. It takes courage for teachers to give up control and allow student agency. The way Georgi led us through the workshop and communicated to all participants, he became an inspiring role model. He made us aware of how it feels to work on equal footing.”
Stromberg Gymnasium, Germany
5) Learning Guide Training: Best practices to enhance learning
From ‘Sage on the stage’, to ‘Guide on the side’. Learning Guides - educators who take the lead, facilitate and curate learning, co-design authentic experiences and empower learners and peers - are key in the schools and learning communities that want to cater to 21st-century needs.
Committing to training to be a Learning Guide means starting a transformational learning journey.
You can grow your skills as an educator by engaging in our month-long Topic-based Modules (6h) according to your needs, desire and availability, or you can commit to the Full LG training (72h to 240h) and ready yourself for a career shift into innovative education.
Learning Guide training is designed with two groups in mind:
- Education practitioners who want to make a positive change and impact in their community.
- Professionals who wish to make a career shift into innovative education.
Are you an educator, school leader or other professional that wants to make a positive change and impact your community?
The Learnlife team proved to be kind, attentive and efficient in their approach. The time they took to gain a deep understanding of our school and to get to know us as individuals, resulted in a joyous professional and personal partnership!"
