SUMMARY:FREE Edurio Book Club: Learning As If Life Depended On It - 10 February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learning As If Life Depended on It\nIn an exclusive live discussion\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen\, Director General of the International Baccalaureate\, joins Ernest Jenavs\, co-founder at Edurio to discuss his newly published book\, Learning As If Life Depended on It (November 2025). \nThis is a rare opportunity for international school leaders to engage directly with one of the sector’s most influential figures immediately following the release of this ground-breaking work. \nInternational school leaders face a complex\, rapidly changing landscape. From climate issues to technological shifts\, traditional methods of control and scheduling are often no longer enough to prepare students for the future. \n  \nIn this session\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen draws on his extensive experience to explore how schools can adapt. He will discuss why we need to move beyond rigid systems to meet the needs of a modern world. \nEdurio CEO Ernest Jenavs will join the discussion to connect these ideas to reality. Using global data\, they will examine how trust and wellbeing\, rather than control\, drive sustainable success in schools. \nThis session is a strategic dialogue rather than a standard book review. Olli-Pekka will share practical insights from his new book\, challenging us to rethink how we lead. \nTogether with Ernest Jenavs\, he will discuss how you can navigate uncertainty in your schools. We will focus on replacing anxiety with systems built on genuine connection and collective learning. We invite you to ask your own questions and explore what actually works in practice. \nYou’ll take away \n\nLeadership insights from Olli-Pekka Heinonen on the changing role of global education.\nPractical ways to rethink how school communities learn and live together.\nStrategies to build trust and wellbeing\, moving away from heavy-handed measurement.\nData-backed insights from Ernest Jenavs\, linking Olli-Pekka’s philosophy to the lived experience of staff and pupils.\n\nRegister here to attend this session: https://home.edurio.com/events/book-club-with-olli-pekka-heinonen/ \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nOlli-Pekka Heinonen\nDirector General of the International Baccalaureate \nA global authority on education systems\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen has served as Director General of the International Baccalaureate (IB) since 2021. Previously\, he led the Finnish National Agency for Education and served as State Secretary to the Finnish Prime Minister.
