This #InternationalDayOfTheGirlChild focuses on the power of girls’ voices and vision for the future. World Learning Algeria student, Marwa Bekhti, has a vision that’s helping raise awareness of the importance of eliminating food waste! Marwa and a team of other students at World Learning designed “Kheliha lghirek” or “Leave it For Others” — an app that would direct people to ways they can repurpose food waste.

Creating a more peaceful and just world through education, development, and exchange.
About us
For more than 90 years, World Learning has worked to create a more peaceful and just world. Our education, development, and exchange programs help people find their voices, connect with their communities, strengthen the institutions that form the backbone of a democratic society, and build relationships across cultures. With our support, these emerging leaders tackle critical global issues like poverty, conflict, and inequality. World Learning is working to improve global education to ensure schools and teachers have the tools they need to support students—including English language instruction through our TESOL teacher training. We encourage civic engagement in communities around the world, and we strengthen institutions to better serve their constituencies. Our youth workforce and entrepreneurship programs help people cultivate the skills they need for the modern economy. And consistent with our long history, we continue to offer a robust portfolio of people-to-people exchanges—including professional exchanges, academic exchanges, and youth programs—that enrich the lives of people from more than 150 countries. Our distinct approach to change incorporates five key elements: experiential learning, leadership development, inclusive practices, innovation, and grants management. We collaborate with local partners to find solutions that will truly work for each community. Together, we create the foundations for a better tomorrow. World Learning works globally to enhance the capacity and commitment of individuals, institutions, and communities to create a more peaceful, and just world through education, sustainable development, and exchange.

During Dr. Vaquera-Vásquez’s time at the University of Gdansk, he lectured on the #MexicanAmerican experience and helped establish a border studies group turned Think Tank on the university’s campus.

It is estimated that more than 117 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. This staggering number includes refugees, asylum seekers, and those internally displaced in their own countries—and this number is growing. In addition to humanitarian needs such as shelter, food, and healthcare, World Learning believes that access to quality education is critical to empowering #refugees in their new environment. Through the New Vermonter Education Program, we provide temporary housing, English language, and cultural orientation programming for refugees in southern Vermont.
