NORD ANGLIA EDUCATION
Why we’re working together
Nord Anglia Education and UNICEF work in partnership to support UNICEF’s advocacy for children’s rights, inspire young people and students to become changemakers, and continue the ongoing work towards achieving the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What we’re doing
The partnership aims to embed social advocacy and global citizenship in all aspects of teaching and learning, providing students and young people with unique platforms to learn from global experts and take an active role in accelerating progress towards the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The partnership’s global priorities also include:
- Amplifying the voices of young people around the world on the importance of the SDGs. Our partnership equips them with the tools to become the next generation of change makers. This reinforces UNICEF’s ambition to increase youth participation and ensure the SDGs deliver results for and with every child.
- Supporting students and young people in becoming active citizens, working alongside their local communities to address social issues. The partnership aims to engage young people and students meaningfully in advocacy initiatives to support the achievement of the SDGs and the UNCRC.
- Continuing to provide freely available learning and advocacy resources on the SDGs and the UNCRC for children, educators, and the wider NAE community. These resources include an SDG support package, featuring key information on each of the 17 Goals and five cross-cutting issues.
- Helping UNICEF raise awareness of children’s rights with governments, within the United Nations, and across various intergovernmental fora.

As educators we have an important responsibility to make sure the next generation are empowered to create a more equitable future for all. As our global partnership with UNICEF shows, we believe in giving young people an education that broadens their understanding of how they can impact important issues including sustainability and equality which equips them with the confidence, collaborative mind-set and leadership skills to make a positive change in their communities and the world at large.
