THE GLOBAL EDUCATION COALITION BRINGS TOGETHER INSTITUTIONS FROM ACROSS THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND CIVIL-SOCIETY SECTORS INA SHARED COMMITMENT TO EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE AND QUALITY EDUCATION. ITS MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE COMPLEMENTARY EXPERTISE, RESOURCES AND CREATIVITY IN SUPPORT OF LEARNERS EVERYWHERE, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THOSE MOST AT RISK OF BEING MARGINALIZED.

 IN JOINING THE GEC AND ALIGNING THE FONDAZIONE’S EDUCATIONAL MISSION WITHIN A GLOBAL FRAMEWORK ACROSS THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND CIVIL SOCIETY SECTORS, FONDAZIONE SOZZANI REAFFIRMS ITS LONGSTANDING BELIEF IN THE POWER OF CULTURE AND THE ARTS TO EDUCATE, TO CONNECT AND TO OPEN MINDS.  

VISUAL CULTURE, FASHION AS A CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE, AND CIRCULAR-ECONOMY PROJECTS ARE NOW RECOGNIZED AS TOOLS FOR EDUCATION AND CULTURAL AWARENESS. IN DIALOGUE WITH AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF INSTITUTIONS WORKING ON CONNECTIVITY, TEACHER TRAINING AND GENDER EQUALITY, THE FONDAZIONE SOZZANI LOOKS FORWARD TO PLACING ITS EXPERIENCE AT THE SERVICE OF THIS GLOBAL COMMUNITY, AND TO EXPLORING COLLABORATIONS THAT BRING THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL SPHERES CLOSER TOGETHER IN PURSUIT OF COMMON GOALS.  

THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP, FONDAZIONE SOZZANI WILL SEEK TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT STRENGTHEN LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND THAT REFLECT THE VALUES IT SHARES WITH UNESCO. FURTHER DETAILS ON THE FOUNDATION’S AREAS OF COOPERATION WITHIN THE COALITION WILL BE COMMUNICATED IN DUE COURSE.  

FONDAZIONE SOZZANI EXTENDS ITS SINCERE APPRECIATION TO UNESCO FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PART IN THIS COLLECTIVE EFFORT, AND INVITES ITS PARTNERS, COLLABORATORS AND FRIENDS TO JOIN IN SUPPORTING THE SHARED MISSION OF THE GLOBAL EDUCATION COALITION.
