In a rapidly changing world, empowering young people to address global challenges is more crucial than ever. Friendship, a social purpose organization based in Bangladesh—one of the countries most impacted by climate change—has been at the forefront of implementing innovative solutions. Working hand in hand with vulnerable communities, Friendship fosters hope and dignity in the face of adversity.

Through its Inter-School Connectivity Project, Friendship connects students from Bangladesh, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland, enabling cross-cultural dialogue on climate change and sustainable solutions. By leveraging digital connectivity, this initiative not only fosters collaboration and the exchange of ideas but also empowers youth to become climate advocates. This approach to education moves beyond traditional knowledge delivery, focusing instead on providing the tools, inspiration, and opportunities needed to take action, amplify their voices, and drive change for a more sustainable future.

Join us at this event to explore how transformative education can empower the next generation to lead. Learn how connected learning bridges cultural and geographical divides while nurturing resilience, creativity, and leadership to tackle the defining challenges of our time.

Runa Khan, founder and executive director of Friendship NGO
