- Innovate with others to find solutions to education challenges.
- Partner to strengthen the capacity of organizations and key stakeholders to build holistic education systems.
- Establish collaborative relationships with schools, communities, and other partners to collectively take action.
- Promote education as a force multiplier for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and supporting the principles of human rights.

Co-Creation
As a learning organization in a learning field, co-creation is a foundational aspect of the ways we work and the work we do to ensure bright futures for all learners and educators.
We use co-creation to:
- Foster the development of high-quality education programming that is responsive to the evolving needs of students, educators, and communities.
- Contribute to improved learning and development outcomes for all.
Through collaboration that engages the assets, experiences, and knowledge of everyone involved, we build on collective knowledge and experience to develop and amplify innovative solutions to education challenges that affirm children’s learning and development as the pathway to sustainable futures for all.
