LIBF is now Walbrook Institute London

This article was published before our name change in April 2025, but the information remains accurate.

Driving the future of education through collaboration

We are now a proud member of the Digital Education Council (DEC). Together with DEC’s international network of innovators, we’ll work to drive sustainable innovation and make the most of artificial intelligence (AI) for education.

What is the Digital Education Council?

DEC brings together organisations from around the world to share ideas, solve problems, and shape the future of education. It’s all about collaboration – whether it’s using AI to personalise learning, creating sustainable ways to train future workforces, or finding new solutions to big global challenges in education.

Initiated by SuperCharger Ventures, the world’s largest EdTech accelerator, the DEC is powered by the diverse perspectives and expertise of its members. It’s a chance for institutions like us to work together and make a real impact.

Working together to shape the future of education

The Digital Education Council was created to bring organisations and experts together to tackle big challenges in education. It’s a chance to share ideas, access the latest technology, and collaborate with some of the best minds in the sector.

By joining the DEC, we’re reinforcing our commitment to creating real, sustainable change in education – not just for our students but for the global community. This partnership builds on our mission to empower learners with flexible, forward-thinking education that prepares them for the world of work.

Joining the Digital Education Council is an exciting milestone and reflects our commitment to leading the way in education innovation. We believe in harnessing the power of technology to create learning experiences that are flexible, inclusive, and future-focused. Our partnership with the DEC will enable us to collaborate with global experts, ensuring we stay at the forefront of advancements in education and AI. This is an incredible opportunity for us to shape the future of education while staying true to our mission of preparing students for careers that are shaping society.

How technology already shapes our students' learning

Our partnership with the DEC isn’t the start of our journey with innovation – it’s the next step in a story that’s already underway. We’ve embraced technology to make learning more engaging, accessible, and personalised for our students. With our membership in the Digital Education Council, we’re excited to build on this foundation and explore new ways to innovate in education.

    Preparing students for success

    Our approach to education goes beyond the classroom. By integrating digital tools into the learning experience, we help students build essential skills for their future careers, from creating professional CVs to connecting with opportunities worldwide.

How this membership helps our students

Our students will benefit from everything we gain as a member of the Digital Education Council. Through collaboration with leading institutions and experts, we’ll access the latest resources and ideas to create better programmes and learning experiences.

We’ll stay ahead of emerging trends in education technology and bring those innovations into our teaching. By working with other DEC members, we can further improve our approach to online learning, ensuring our students are always learning in ways that are engaging, effective, and future-ready.

In short, our work with the DEC is about helping us do what we do best – giving our students the skills and knowledge they need to thrive.
