#AIinEducation #STEMEducation

#InternationalDayOfEducation #DigitalLiteracy

3/3 Grounded in evidence, a deep regional understanding, and long-standing community relationships, the project focuses on strengthening the human and institutional capabilities needed for sustained digital transformation.

1/2 The online world is second nature for many of us. We turn to the Internet and digital services, without thinking, to navigate everyday life. However, the certainty of connectivity and the ability to use them are not universal.

#DigitalDevelopment

2/2 What stood out most, was how diversity strengthens our work. Different perspectives help us design solutions grounded in regional realities. An unexpected perk of a global team is discovering unfamiliar foods and hidden gems in regional music.
