For more than 10 years we’ve worked with teachers to unlock the potential of over 220,000 students globally and have an exceptional track-record, reputation and network of supporters. We are part of a small but growing ecosystem of non-profit organisations supporting schools and teachers creating more authentic, real-world-based and impactful learning experiences for young people. Our programmes support young people with the skills and confidence they need to be purposeful innovators and proactive agents to shape their own future.
