About Us

What we aim for, and how we want to achieve it

This page carries the two statements the group works from — where it is trying to get to, and how — followed by four commitments that follow from them. Each one is written so that somebody outside could tell whether it is being kept.

Our Vision

To bring about a world in which everyone can express their own value to the full, generating prosperity for themselves and for others across every area of life.

Our Mission

Learnis is committed to being the global reference point for Transformative Education.

We place learning at the center, transforming it into an experience that activates all intelligences - cognitive, emotional, and relational - and generates shared and lasting prosperity.

Through personalized journeys, we help each individual unleash their authentic potential in all areas of life and work, accompanying them day after day with professionalism, enthusiasm, and reliability.

We believe that the greatest achievement is to contribute to the good of others: for us, this is the most tangible measure of one's own worth. From this awareness, authentic self-esteem and leadership are born.

With an international network of trainers-entrepreneurs and digital tools in constant evolution, we disseminate a human and scientific educational model that is renewed thanks to constant comparison with academic, institutional and professional partners of excellence.

This same model also drives the internal growth of our people, ensuring consistency between what we offer the world and what we build every day within the network.

A problem worth taking seriously

UNESCO defines functional illiteracy as the condition of a person unable to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts well enough to take part in society.

Research carried out at Italy's National Research Council found the condition widespread even among graduate and doctoral students, and traced it to weak metacognitive foundations — the basic cognitive operations that schooling tends to assume are already in place — rather than to a lack of effort or intelligence.

This is the ground the group works on, and the reason the work starts with how a person learns rather than with what they are taught.

Accessible on purpose

One intensive course, however good, does not make a person a better learner for life. What follows it matters as much as the course itself — and what follows it has to be affordable, or it only reaches the people who least needed help.

So the Academy is free to attend. Participants pay only for the teaching materials: at the time of writing, 39 euros a month for the magazine and the accompanying monographic manual. In Italy more than ten thousand people have taken part over the years, with up to two thousand subscribed at the same time.

It is an editorial decision before a commercial one, and it is the reason the numbers look the way they do.

The teacher should become unnecessary

The group commits to autonomy. A tutor begins by lending a participant the direction they do not yet have — asking the questions they cannot yet ask themselves — and then hands that direction over, piece by piece.

The measure of success is that the participant needs them less and less. A good method has to survive when its trainer has left, for good.

Checked rather than believed

In education a claim is worth exactly as much as the evidence available when somebody asks to see it.

The group publishes a corporate code of ethics. In every country where it operates it appoints an independent ethics guarantor and an ethics committee external to the company, both tasked with assessing the conduct of local centres and staff.

Participant testimonials are certified, published in full and open to inspection, and the process by which they are collected has itself been reviewed by a third party.

In practice, this means

  • Not enrolling someone who cannot realistically get a result from the programme
  • Keeping continuous training affordable, so that access does not depend on income
  • Training instructors and tutors to read a learning process, not only to deliver a procedure
  • Publishing what can be verified, and saying plainly when something cannot
  • Submitting the conduct of centres and staff to bodies the group does not control

Three values, and their implications

Responsibility, growth and contribution are the values the group works by. As the foundation of what Learnis is about, they are unobjectionable. They are the bases that have to shape the behaviour of a Learnis Person.
