Think Equal works towards a world in which children of all genders, ethnicities, religions and other backgrounds have optimal opportunities to develop their full potential, have their views respected, respect one another, live free of discrimination and violence, become youth leaders, and active participants of a free and equal world. Our purpose is to add social and emotional learning as a compulsory component of education curricula around the world, starting from the first day of every child's formal education. We aim for a system change in education by bringing a new subject into schools, from the Early Years, when the child's personality and moral framework is still developing. We must ensure that our children's hearts are educated, and not just their heads.Education – and equal access to it – is a long-standing goal of the UN and a number of progressive governments across the world. Think Equal is not an attempt to address the issue of access to education, rather it is concerned with contents and quality of education, in pursuance of changing a dominant mind set.Think Equal is a global initiative which constructs and delivers an equality studies curriculum, that is as fundamental as literacy and numeracy. We must commit to a holistic approach to education which will result in a new generation of equal thinkers – global citizens – who can rise to the challenges of the 21st century.
