Our mission is to develop, manage and support projects focused on community work, generate awareness, respect and education for the proper use of resources for the benefit of our environment and environment. We promote sustainable human development as a fundamental intangible resource of our society, linking people, communities and institutions to the sustainable intervention of vulnerable contexts. Our Ludotecas project is a model of community social intervention whose challenge is to return the right to play and use of public spaces in a safe and adequate way to children who live in vulnerable contexts. Through a community program we promote the use of public space generating transformations that strengthen the social fabric of the community, improve the child's relationship with their socio-territorial environment and stimulate children's cognitive development. We work directly with the community and specifically with children between 3 and 12 years old looking to promote healthy play and child care through the community construction of spaces for the specific use of children, where we develop play workshops that promote the development of social, motor, cognitive, emotional and linguistic skills.

Fundacion Ensena Chile's mission is to create a diverse network of leaders with the necessary conviction and perspective to impact the educational system, first from inside the classroom and then from different sectors of the system. Overall, Fundacion Ensena Chile is dedicated to transforming education in Chile by investing in talented teachers, promoting educational equity, and driving systemic change to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education. Ensena Chile aims to fight for equal learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their socio-economic background. For the past 15 years, we have been training and supporting professionals and practicing teachers, impacting the comprehensive development of +240,000 students throughout the country. Our flagship program selects and trains exceptional university graduates and professionals from various fields to become teachers in low-income schools. These individuals undergo an intensive training program to develop their teaching skills and receive ongoing support and mentoring throughout their two-year commitment in the program. The goal is to create a pipeline of talented educators who can make a difference in underserved communities and contribute to educational improvement nationwide. Ensena Chile also works to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among educators by creating networks and platforms for teachers to exchange ideas, strategies, and best practices. We believe in the power of collective learning and seek to build a community of teachers who can learn from one another and continuously improve their teaching methods. Since 2017, our initiative (Learning Schools) emerged to share good practices and learnings, so that school administrators and management teams can enhance collective leadership for the creation of communities with a learning culture. We are convinced that students will learn more and better if they have teachers, management teams, and families who also learn every day. Lastly, during the pandemic, we determined to support communities that lacked internet access. This gave rise to , a project that aims to use technology as a tool to share these learnings with more communities and be a source of innovation for them, in pursuit of our students' learning and development.
Established in 1981, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is one of the world's largest environmental education organisations, with over 100 member organisations in 81 countries. At the heart of the FEE are our five programmes. Coordinated by the Head Office in Copenhagen and implemented by our members around the world, our programmes aim to bring positive change on a global scale: The internationally recognized Eco-Schools programme engages young people in quality environmental education and meaningful action. Through a seven-step framework, pupils are empowered and motivated to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond. Close to 50,000 schools around the world are part of the Eco-Schools programme. Learning about Forests (LEAF) advocates for outdoor learning and hands-on experiences, allowing students to connect with nature and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. While the LEAF programme started with a focus on tree-based ecosystems, today it includes a diversity of ecosystems to foster skills and knowledge by exposing learners to outdoor experiences. LEAF is implemented in 28 countries. Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an award-winning programme that empowers young people to take an educated stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and gives them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography and video. Over 300,000 students engage in the YRE programme yearly. The iconic Blue Flag programme is one of the world's most recognized eco-tourism awards for beaches, marinas, and tourist boat operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Over 5,000 beaches, marinas and tourism boats are currently awarded. Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. With 40 years of impactful experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE's strategic plan - GAIA 20:30 - prioritises climate action across all five programmes to address the urgent threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. FEE's Environmental Education Principles The member organisations of FEE have agreed upon these principles to guide our work towards excellence in EE/ESD: 1. Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process. 2. Encourage participants to make reasonable decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues. 3. Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions. 4. Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking and to be open to change. 5. Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues. 6. Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them and to support each other. 7. Continuously explore, test and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques. 8. Ensuring continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluating are central focus of our programmes. FEE's overall Mission is to engage and empower people through education in collaboration with our members and partners worldwide.

RES NON VERBA ASOCIACION CIVIL (known as Civic House) is an international nonprofit organization that provides a space for creation and collaboration to boost and integrate high-impact civic innovation initiatives, promoting and supporting their sustainability. Civic House aims to gather a community of initiatives that use technology for social change, striving to make the Latin American region more equitable. Within Civic House, there are several initiatives as shown on its website, https://www.civic.house/en. All these initiatives share the same legal personality, as Civic House provides legal, accounting, and administrative support, allowing the initiatives to focus solely on impact. The grant we are applying for, in partnership with 3M under their 3M Impact Post-Project Support, is related to the Ada ITW initiative. Since 2017, Ada ITW has been committed to reducing the gender gap in the tech world by providing technology training to women and assisting them in their job integration process. Over the past seven years, we have trained more than 30,000 women, nearly 60% of whom are now employed in the IT sector. We offer a range of courses and bootcamps in technology, along with payment ease programs and full scholarships for women and femininities who cannot afford these courses. We collaborate closely with hundreds of social organizations in the region to facilitate job placement. As our training is delivered virtually, our reach is regional, only limited by language barriers. I would also like to note that the financial statements and legal documentation we will present belong to Civic House (RES NON VERBA), while the annual budget we will share pertains to Ada ITW internally.
