International Day of Education
Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.
Education offers children a ladder out of poverty and a path to a promising future. But about 244 million children and adolescents around the world are out of school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable.
Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.
Making and Identity in Oaxaca
Event Description: Join Murmur Ring in Oaxaca for a four-day immersive experience exploring Making in Oaxaca with an intimate group of designers, chefs, artists, and strategists.
An immersion creates the real-world exposures, conditions, and practices necessary for a team to implement market-ready ideas—opportunities not afforded by meeting rooms and digital connection. Join us to explore solutions to sustainability and cultural challenges and gain new skills to change how you work. Experience includes lodging at boutique hotels, all food and drink, and hands-on experiences with local farmers, chefs, mezal producers, textile artists, and more.
We believe that in order to connect you have to disconnect. As the world charges toward increased digital connectivity, we have an amplified visceral need to move around, touch things, see things and exchange ideas in the real world. Shared tangible experiences foster trust, strategic alignment, and collaboration.
Murmur Ring helps organisations accomplish their strategic aims through immersive encounters, collective discourse, and storytelling.
Price: USD $5,000, includes hotel, food + drink, ground transportation, and all programming
