We mourn George Floyd, Ahmaud Abery, Breonna Taylor, and all of the lives lost due to the unjust killings in the United States throughout history.

 

Racism is not a distant memory. Year after year, we witness inherent injustice to the Black community in the United States. As a country, we have seen countless efforts to create change, but it never seems to fully take hold. It is time to stand up. It is time to listen. It is time to demand justice. Enough is enough. The time is now.

 

Education for Sharing (E4S) is committed to joining the effort to create monumental change. We believe change comes from educating minds and educating hearts. In 2014, E4S first launched its programs to students in the United States. Since then, the majority of the students served by our programs have been low-income students of color in Title I schools. Our core is to empower, educate, and unite global citizens who believe in leading a life promoting civic values such as empathy and inclusion.

 

We will keep on working tireless so that all children in the United States will grow up to live in a country without hate - a country that is proud of diversity - a country that stands for justice - where everyone has the same opportunity.

 

DONATE to continue generating useful content and programs for girls, boys, parents, teachers and educators around the world to thrive together, no matter where we are.

 

Your help is essential to achieve this!

I wish each of you and your families well and hope that you continue to find peace and joy.

 

With respect, great appreciation and affection,

 

Dina Buchbinder Auron

President and Founder of Education for Sharing

First ever Global Advisory Board Meeting

 

On June 11th, 2020 E4S launched its first ever Global Advisory Board meeting.  Thanks to the vision, trust and support of Mr. Eduardo Ramos-Gomez, Chairman of the Global Advisory Board and the auspice of our US Board of Directors, a magic group of 32 stellar individuals from every corner of the globe are starting to envision how to make a difference together.

 

The E4S team is grateful, excited and eager to work together with this freshly appointed Global Advisory Board to offer, better and more innovative and human, value-based 

experiences to children so they can grow by learning to care about others, and know they have an important role to play for this world from wherever they are, today.

 

The future is uncertain by definition, but that is precisely why we need to build global hearts more than ever before. Whether it’s coronavirus, global warming or another issue confronting all of us, supporting children’s emotional needs and nurturing their global hearts and desire to help others during these challenging times and in the aftermath will be transcendental.

E4S present in the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)

SDSN selected E4S as one of the educational initiatives that will be present within its Project Bank in Mexico. This platform aims to articulate and connect different sectors of society with social causes to channel technical support and resources.

By being part of this project, we will have the opportunity to participate in co-creation and
training workshops with different civil society entities in Mexico and globally.

Reboot the Future will team up with Education for Sharing

Reboot the Future is a small charity with a big ambition: to create a more compassionate

and sustainable world. They work with business leaders and educators on projects focused on a principle that transcends history and many cultures: treat others and the planet as you would like to be treated.

 

Reboot the Future is currently launching an open conversation to hear from educators,
business leaders and the general public what they have learned during the pandemic about education, now and in the future. To participate, click here. 

They would love to have you join this initiative!

We also want to share with you that Reboot The Future has included E4S in the list of over 250 publishers that contribute educational resources to "Global Dimension", its global learning platform.

Caribu and E4S

E4S just started conversations with Caribu. Caribu is the #1 app for children ages 0-13 to
read, draw, and do activities in an interactive video-call with family and friends. Caribu has
extended the FREE and UNLIMITED use of their interactive video-calling platform and in-
app library for the summer. They launched #CampCaribu, the world’s first summer reading program that kids can experience with other friends and family on a video-call. #CampCaribu includes 100 days of activities, featured books, and weekly themed reading categories with challenges and prizes. To share or sign up for #CampCaribu’s free summer reading program, click here.

New Allies Join E4S

Even in a contingency period, we continue to look for ways to form better citizens. To
achieve this, we have established links with highly committed allies in the business, civil and government sectors.

Today, more than ever, it is essential that children and their families know how to use
Information and Communication Technologies responsibly. Therefore, together with AT&T Mexico, we are developing capsules and educational resources on digital citizenship that will also enable them to strengthen their agency of change.

Likewise, with the Lego Foundation we have created activities to implement with early
childhood children in their homes. We have also designed cards and videos that are shared with our network of basic education teachers in line with the Mexican government's Learn at Home strategy.

On the other hand, through the Ashoka network of social entrepreneurs, we have had the
opportunity to give webinars to members of different companies - among them, Kersia - with the aim of providing them with playful tools to maintain and strengthen their physical and social-emotional well-being while they are at home.

Finally, on May 19 and 20 we participated in the first OECD "Global Forum on Education and Skills 2030"; where we discussed with other stakeholders the challenges and opportunities that the emergence of COVID-19 has brought to the educational field.
