Not long ago, the world was one. No borders or continents, not even humans existed. Just a supercontinent known as Pangea.

375 million years later…

  1. Climate change / destruction of nature (48.8%)
  2. Large scale conflict/wars (38.9%) …
  3. Inequality (income, discrimination) (30.8%) …
  4. Poverty (29.2%) …
  5. Religious conflicts (23.9%) …
  6. Government accountability and transparency/corruption (22.7%)…

ERROR 404.

We can’t start over… but we can:-Fixit, Redesign, Remake, AWAKE!

It is already happening:

Young leaders from all over the world, working in teams to be part of the solution, being the change they want to see in the world.

It’s unstoppable!

They are the young people who have decided to lead the change with their Startups, Learning about team entrepreneurship, travelling to new contexts, and learning about cultures.

“Ox Riders” launches their new electric motorcycle

“Gravity Wave” collects plastic from the mediterranean sea

“Hex” presents an alternative to textile consumption

“Kendani” a market place for sustainable and ethical products

“World Makers Organization” launches a massive call to print sanitary solutions to fight COVID-19

The planet has pulled the trigger.

It has stopped us in our tracks.
It has been a long time coming. It patiently warned us while we turned our heads, and finally, it stroke. And as for all the inconvenient situations, the timing was horrible.
It made our system tremble, from the very foundation… but turns out, it was to bring back clean air, calm to the oceans… to raise awareness and consciousness of what really is important.
A shake to reconnect with ourselves, each other and with the planet.

Chinese culture shows us that “crisis” and “opportunity” walk hand in hand.
This is an opportunity to bring down walls.
An opportunity to value what is important.
An opportunity to do and make new things.
An opportunity to unite, to stand as one.
An opportunity to awake.
To be true to ourselves.

More Pangea than ever.

The aim was to create an open international community of team-entrepreneurs cooperating on a multi-generational, multi-cultural, and multi-disciplinary level.

The Official European degree in Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation (LEINN) started in 2008. After the success for more than 5 years, LEINN International was created, innovating this already disruptive program.
