The world’s youngest children deserve better.

Without the right early years support, children fall behind even before they have started school. The early years is when inequality sets in. Millions of the world’s children go without the quality care and early learning they require.

If you feel it’s time to Act For Early Years too – sign a letter to world leaders and read more about the campaign from Theriword.

How do you get world leaders to sit up and take notice of the plight of very young children? One way is to give those children a voice and put them at the centre of a global campaign.

That’s what Theirworld has done with Act For Early Years – a major campaign to tackle a worldwide crisis by calling for urgent quality childcare and preschool learning for every child.

They knew that giving children under five the opportunity to have their say would be a powerful way of getting through to leaders and governments who are letting them down.

Theirworld worked with partners and the brand studio Saboteur to create a special font that uses children’s writing and features in our Act For Early Years report and campaigning. Children’s drawings and doodles also help to reinforce the message.

Take a look at how the font was created and why it’s having a big impact.

The webinar recording and a summary of the report are now available for download.

This year’s Education World Forum (EWF) was held in May 2023 in London. The theme was ‘New Beginnings: Nurturing Learning Culture, Building Resilience, Promoting Sustainability. Stronger, Bolder, Better Education by Design’.

EWF 2023 addressed how education has changed and what we have learned from the recent disruption and responses and considered longer term challenges and changes. The event also focused on education’s sustainability, as well as its potential to both aid understanding and contribute to global sustainability.

The event was also used to launch the new 2023 Cost-Effective Approaches to Improve Global Learning – Smart Buys report authored by the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP).
