Education is the challenge of the 21st Century
Doha, Qatar - 03.11.2011 - Learning World, euronews signature weekly magazine on education, is back with a second season. The program will continue to travel the globe, in search of informative, inspiring and moving stories on education.
Presented from Doha by Maha Barada, it will benefit from an extended duration of 10 minutes, and of a new visual identity.
Learning World is produced in partnership with WISE, the World Innovation Summit for Education, an initiative of Qatar Foundation.
Season 2 starts with an episode dedicated to "Teaching peace". The first subject takes viewers to the United States, where young Palestinian and Israeli girls spend their time together during the summer camp. They meet there, those whom they call "the others".

Finally, the third part of the magazine takes place around the Prespa Lake, situated between Greece, Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where the Greek NGO "Culture Triangle of Prespa" works in due to ease the conflicts and bring the dialogue again between different people, inhabiting the region.

"Talk and walk and learn with animals", learning with animals is one educational method that can offer a sound teaching technique. But what can children learn from animals? To find out, this week Learning World heads to Switzerland, Singapore and Ireland for a close up on education and the animal kingdom.
