1World Unite

1World Unite look to bring the global goals for sustainable development to life through a range of complementary resources designed to transform for the better, the lives of children everywhere inspiring them to rethink their relationship with the world so that they can bring shared values to life, it begins with our mission statement, because together we can. In a recent speech, UN secretary Ban Ki Moon said, 'It is not enough for education to produce individuals who can read, write and count. Education must be transformative and cultivate an active care for the world and for those with whom we share it." and this, is at the heart of everything we do. We believe, that only with knowledge can we look to affect social change and, that ignorance' can no longer be our defence. Bringing a joined up approach to education and learning will, help empower children and give them the opportunity to develop the values, knowledge and skills they need so that they can forge more just, peaceful and tolerant societies where all life has equal value. Education is the very building block of every society yet, the ethos in education today still has values that are based purely on passing exams and; if we are to achieve the United Nations global goals and forge lasting peace and secure a sustainable future for mankind, it is imperative that we give global education a voice that inspires children and helps them develop skills, knowledge and understanding that will empower them and help them understand that we are tied together and that everything we do matters for we are all global citizens in a truly inter- connected world. The 1World vision is one that will establish the 1World brand as the leading resource for sustainability knowledge and education for 11-23 year olds everywhere; providing facts and inspirational pathways to inspire behaviour change. 1World Unite is a social enterprise driven by social good and aims to put its profits back into society help- ing children from disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their true potential.
