Educator pass

The Educator pass is designed for full-time teachers, lecturers and professors shaping the next generation of creative talent.

Across the week, you’ll immerse yourself in Lion-winning work, connect with industry pioneers and get cutting-edge insights to bring back to your students. Plus, you’ll lend your voice to developing a global standard for creative education and prepare your students for long-terms career success.

Included in this pass is the chance to join the LIONS Educators Forum – a growing global community connecting educators with industry leaders and each other, both at the Cannes Lions Festival and virtually throughout the year.

• you currently work as an educator at a recognised school, college or university
• you want to gain access to the Palais and select city activations.

To ensure the pass is reserved for those whose primary professional role is in education, occasional or guest lecturers are not eligible. Part-time lecturers may be eligible depending on circumstances (e.g. part-time lecturers at multiple schools, part-time workers with carer responsibilities, parents returning from leave).

Note: LIONS provides a complimentary pass for professional educators accompanying five students or more.
