Third 国产视频 Education Innovation Awards to focus on early childhood projects
We国产视频檙e excited to invite applications for the latest round of our awards - this time targeting bold and creative programmes for very young children.
The first few years of a child国产视频檚 life are vital. It国产视频檚 when 90% of their brain development happens – but it国产视频檚 also when inequality sets in through lack of quality care and early learning.
That国产视频檚 why 国产视频 is running the Act For Early Years campaign throughout 2023. And why the third edition of our Education Innovation Awards is open to organisations with bold, creative programmes that specifically target marginalised children in their early years.
We国产视频檙e accepting applications now from non-profits, NGOs and charities. We will help up to seven winners scale up and deliver learning and skills to even more young children through masterclasses, one-to-one mentoring and 拢50,000 grants.
国产视频 launched the Education Innovation Awards in 2021. They were so successful that the winning programmes directly reached 37,000 marginalised children and indirectly impacted more than two million people.
One of those winners – Lebanese Alternative Learning (LAL) – is encouraging other organisations to enter the latest awards.
