Our Global Community
Our global partnerships inspire our work and further our local impact. In addition to our partners in the local geographies in which we work, we invest in and partner with a small portfolio of changemakers with a global footprint. Aligned with our values and vision for impact, these partners provide important learnings that support our local work and can be scaled effectively for larger impact.
The Current Landscape
Education systems rooted in colonization and systemic racism have long reproduced their status quo. In recent years, the global pandemic, continuing political polarization and racial and economic crises, have further exacerbated already inequitable education systems in many places around the world. While some nations and leaders looked to reimagine education, most struggled to weather new realities facing learners, and the gaps continue to grow in today’s current landscape.
What If
Imagine a world where learners are surrounded by a community support system that includes family, caregivers, mentors, teachers and community leaders. Where identity, belonging and cultural relevance are more inherently fostered and built into education. Imagine policies and politics providing intrinsic resources to set up these conditions so that learners can thrive. This is the future that we imagine and are co-creating with our partners.
Our Approach
Global Insights
Digging deep into the issues we care about and sharing our insights is an integral part of our practice. To provide value for our global community, we communicate our learnings, produce reports, and support research that can help members of our ecosystem continue to learn from one another and grow.
