Prof. Dorothy A. Leonard was awarded for thought leadership for challenging tendencies and popular trends that perpetuate unhealthy habits. She encourages reexamining assumptions through intellectually valuable work that helps understand the four pillars of learning: learning to know, to do, to live together, and to be. Her inspiring books provide evidence of thought leadership and embody the Leonardo spirit of a holistic approach that touches minds and souls. She leads by example in gently reminding people and organizations that core capabilities can become rigidities, and invites them on an intellectual and practical journey of civic and personal responsibilities.
For those who feel more than responsible and passionate for Corporate Learning.
In order to make the European economy more efficient and responsible, an initiative group involved in the HRM Expo has established an award that distinguishes ideas that have a pan-European effects and provide new approaches to corporate learning. With the âLeonardo - European Corporate Learning Awardâ people are honoured who have initiated and put into practice âbeacon projectsâ for European education and have thus become benchmarks for other participants throughout Europe, in particular:
- through innovations in the field of âcorporate learningâ, whose impact extends to other firms and sectors (keywords: knowledge- and talent-management, knowledge partnerships, training and e-learning concepts, life-long learning)
- through services to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and intercultural cohesion in Europe, which serve as examples and have a broader impact, which contribute significantly towards growth and employment in the spirit of the âEurope 2020â Lisbon follow-up strategy.
In 2010, the first âLeonardo â European Corporate Learning Awardâ was awarded to Prof. Dr. Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission, for his efforts to anchor the community goals of a European educational policy within the framework of the Maastricht treaties, the UNESCO proclamation for education in the 21st century: The treasures within "Learning to know, Learning to do, Learning to live together, Learning to be. Winner in 2011 was Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder of Wikipedia for brining the wisdom of crowds to centre-stage.
Since 2012 there have been three partly overlapping categories of the Leonardo Award, which is actually no coincidence. The award emphasizes the unique components of each of the award-winning education innovations, which are unified by the Leonardo's holistic spirit:

The most successful people and the strongest organisations know their own identities through and through. They know what they stand for and can get it across to those around them with full conviction and energy. But what truly makes them strong is that they mean something to those around them. They are part of a community, built out of a two-way relationship of trust with those to whom they seek to matter.
2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education
in the current context of societal transformation? How should learning be organized?
These questions inspired the ideas presented in this publication.
In the spirit of two landmark UNESCO publications, Learning to Be: The world of
education today and tomorrow (1972), the âFaure Reportâ, and Learning: The treasure
within (1996), the âDelors Report,â I am convinced we need to think big again today

Ribbon in Space around our Solar Syxstem discovered by IBEX â NASA
Will it have an impact on the current solar system and planet formation theory ?
IBEX Ribbon in space is the first indication of boundary layers in space. Boundary layers in space very likely played a major role in planet formations.
Further:
Researchers from the University of Michigan announced today the discovery of tiny amounts of water in the moon rocks brought back to Earth by the Apollo missions were native water, and not water brought by meteors or other objects from space crashing into it. This discovery could in turn invalidate the current theory of how our Moon was formed

âCrossing Bordersâ:
Giving voice to disenfranchised communities
Gary Copitch
Gary Copitch and Peopleâs Voice Media have taken citizens
learning to new heights in the work he initiated and pioneered,
by giving a real voice to disenfranchised communities.
Peopleâs Voice Media works in deprived areas across the
UK with the aim to empower local communities through the
use of social media technology. The Advisory Board was impressed how Peopleâs Voice Media works in partnerships with
the BBC, further and higher education institutions, the third
sector and public sector to develop a network of community
reporters and social media centers. Peopleâs Voice Media actively encourages members of socially excluded communities
to gain new skills and have a voice by taking part in their
community reporters training programs. Individuals who participate in the program are taught to use social media technology and are sent for training with the BBC: The community
reporters program is about empowering people to support
dialogue between agencies and communities and to have a
voice so that their perspectives can be heard.
