Luís Brito e Faro is a former Mechanical Engineer and rugby coach with international experience in Portugal, Panama, and the US.

As a co-founder of Brave Generation Academy, he successfully opened the first hubs in Portugal and went on to serve as the Head of Learning Coaches, by hiring, training and managing a team of 80+ coaches across 50 global hubs.

Recently, he has taken on the task of expanding BGA to the US, starting with Florida's first hub, in Boca Raton. Luís is deeply committed to empowering students and revolutionizing education through his experience and passion.

This conversation was an exploration of how education is deeply flawed in its current state, and how change is possible. Victoria and Luís discuss:

  • Luís' early interest in education and how that came to the fore with Brave Generation Academy
  • What Brave Generation Academy is, and what it offers to its learners
  • Learning Coaches, learners and language - why it matters
  • Foundational pillars of community in education
  • How to empower learners - and how Brave Generation Academy has pioneered a way of learning sovereignty and emotional intelligence alongside standard 'subjects'
  • The role of a Learning Coach in fostering individuality in learners
  • The expansion of Brave Generation Academy
  • How you can help found a learning hub near you (yes really!)
