INNOVATION
Ideas that travel
Pestalozzi International redefines education to nurture the full potential of young people - equipping them to meet local and global challenges with skills, purpose and integrity.
Our invitation
A catalyst for bold thinking
Choice defines the modern world, but for some young people poverty decides who they will become before they are old enough to decide for themselves. We exist to change that - for young people in Africa and Asia with the talent, drive and lived experience to lead, but who are stuck in systems that underestimate them or fail to develop the whole child. These issues are not unique to the developing world. Pestalozzi International is ambitious to play a significant role in discourse around education and the collection on this page will continue to grow.
Innovation is how those ideas travel: through research, conferences, policy engagement and campaigning. We invite educators, researchers, practitioners and changemakers to build with us on Pestalozzi's principles to reimagine learning for the 21st century.
The change we work for
Think. Care. Act.
Every young person is unique. Our programmes develop critical thinking, ethical values and practical skills, so each young person can find their own path to a life of meaning and contribution.
Young people make informed choices about their future, based on their innate talents and interests.
They become responsible, compassionate citizens, contributing to the wellbeing of their communities and the wider world.
They take ethical opportunities that strengthen the growth of their communities and nations.
