Think Equal wins WISE Awards
Think Equal has won the 2020 WISE Awards. Each year, the WISE Awards recognize and promote six successful and innovative projects that are addressing global educational challenges.
These projects represent a growing resource of expertise and sound educational practice. Every year WISE is building a community of educational innovators that offers a fertile environment for groundbreaking collaborations. Today the WISE Awards network comprises pioneering projects that are bringing positive change to societies and communities.
The virtual awards ceremony will take place on 28th October. The theme of the event, ‘Building the Future of Education’ reflects on the idea of thinking about education innovation proactively and not reactively. The discussions will highlight the efforts undertaken by educational innovators to ensure they provide access to quality education from birth until adult learning and everything in between.

About Think Equal
Think Equal works with education ministries globally to adopt its free programme mediating value- based, experiential, social and emotional learning for children aged 3-6. The curriculum covers age appropriate lessons in empathy, emotional literacy, resilience, self-regulation, critical thinking, gender equality, peaceful conflict resolution, self-esteem, etc. – a total of 25 competencies and skills which we deem to be critical as the foundation for positive outcomes in life.
The Lightbulb Trust funded Think Equal’s first pilot in London during the 2019/2020 school year. According to Think Equal’s founder, Leslee Udwin, “the partnership with the Lightbulb Trust allowed them to bring their transformatory social and emotional learning programme to some 500 children throughout the borough of Kensignton and Chelsea, in public and private early years settings. These classrooms are now equipped to transform some 5,000 children over the next ten years, with no further investment required. Without the Lightbulb Trust, this could not have happened.”
