Founded as The Experiment in International Living in 1932 to promote international understanding through citizen exchange, World Learning is now recognized for its innovative international education and training programs. A unique institution that combines its School for International Training, an accredited graduate degree-granting institution, with its Washington, D.C.-based NGO unit, World Learning for International Development, World Learning has impressive capability and experience in providing technical assistance overseas to strengthen systems of education, training and democracy and governance. Central to World Learning’s success in education worldwide is its ability to facilitate the design and successful adoption of innovative classroom and community-based approaches to promote improved learning within multiple education settings. By fostering partnerships among education institutions, local communities and education (and other) authorities and engaging broader civil society partners, World Learning interventions target the priority objectives and problems that impede effective education supply and demand. With this focus, World Learning engenders meaningful changes in the classroom, the institution, the home, the community and the overall system. These result in greater learning for girls and boys, and for women and men in Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia. In all its activities, World Learning focuses particularly on the relationships between the classroom and the community to build upon priority needs identified by teachers, trainers, students and parents. Focusing on strengthening capacity at this most local level, World Learning also works to ensure that each successive tier of the overall system is equipped and committed to deliver quality instruction and learning for all children, youth and adults.
