CanopyLAB
eLearning platform and community that educates and inspires youth to solve our most urgent issues.
As a response to the staggering 93% dropout rate we see in the eLearning industry, PhD fellow Sahra-Josephine Hjorth and designer Christian S. J. Jensen set out create exciting eLearning experiences for global youth that are social, facilitate friendships across borders and are 100 % free of charge for learners. Through gamification, advanced algorithms and live happenings, CanopyLAB helps NGOs, entrepreneurs, activists and thoughts leaders empower millennial learners to tackle the world’s most urgent issues such as discrimination, extremism, exclusion and human rights violations and make social change. An example is Berat and Tarik from Turkey, who after attending the course Young Entrepreneurs for Change decided to restore a building in their hometown and set up an after-school eco-program for children, where they are now teaching children about the environment and sustainability.
