'Learning Together' reaches a new milestone: 500 million views in just 18 months

Societal interest in education together with advice delivered by leading professionals has turned ‘Learning Together’ into one of the most innovative and successful educational programs on the Internet. BBVA created this platform, which uses informational videos, to disseminate the knowledge and experiences of hundreds of educational specialists.

A sampling of the topics covered in recent months include the use of technology and the disruption it causes, culture as a knowledge tool, and the importance of addressing social issues such as sustainability and climate change.

The ‘Learning Together’ social community has also logged some landmark statistics. Its Facebook profile has exceeded one million followers, and its videos have accumulated more than eight million interactions. The program's Twitter and YouTube accounts, with more than 40,000 and 530,000 followers respectively, also attest to the strength of the initiative. Instagram, the most recent social networking site to host the program’s content, already exceeds 50,000 followers in only four months since the account was activated.

Totaling followers in all its social network platforms, ‘Learning Together’ already has a community of more than one and half million followers.

Another fact worth mentioning: the level of social media interactions (comments, shares, likes, and mentions) generated by the ‘Living Together’ content has surpassed 8 million. This figure, which equates to more than 60,000 interactions on average per video, is a key indicator of the emotional connection we make with our viewers.

 "Conflict Resolution", the third challenge of 'Learning Together'

A Coruña, Toledo, Malaga and Barcelona are the four cities where BBVA has introduced its third educational challenge: 'Conflict Resolution.' This new format is dedicated to the prevention of bullying in the classroom – mainly at the middle school and high school levels – and provides parents, students, and teachers with tools to help them manage conflict.

The course is free, practical, and available online. It consists of 14 lessons, supplementary guides for each exercise, and downloadable materials that stress conflict prevention and feature conflict resolution techniques, such as dialog, listening, and empathy. These materials will help remedy conflict situations like bullying in schools, social exclusion, and/or the use of social media to spread rumors.

Totaling followers in all its social network platforms, ‘Learning Together’ already has a community of more than one and half million followers.
