Stories that connect. Youth on the move.
Welcome to Equator – a global learning platform where young people engage with each other through stories and images. Youth from the North, East, West and South film their lives as they truly are.
No filters, no pre-made messages. Their stories find their way into classrooms, workshops, and educational materials.
What do we do?
We build bridges. Between twin schools that collaborate across borders. Between young people who inspire, challenge, and surprise one another. Between local organisations in the Global South and schools, teachers, and changemakers around the world.
Together with global partners, we support projects that empower young people in their everyday lives. From workshops and film projects to creating school gardens or safe learning spaces.
What connects all these initiatives?
Young people speaking up. And an approach based on equality, collaboration and mutual exchange.
Whether you're a student or a teacher, a creator or a partner, a supporter or just curious – welcome to Equator.
Look around, listen, discover and be moved. Because those who truly listen to young voices, see the world change.
Youth in the spotlight
Discover short films made by young people themselves – about their lives, their dreams and their challenges. Raw, real, and surprisingly relatable. From Kinshasa to Geel: these stories connect worlds.
Learning about the world – from each other
Equator connects schools from all over the globe. Students collaborate on topics like climate, inequality or identity. They learn from each other’s reality and from each other’s unique perspective on the world.
Supporting local engagement
All over the world, committed people – teachers, youth, and volunteers – are building stronger education, liveable communities, and a hopeful future.
Give young people a voice. Make connection possible.
With your support, young people can continue to film, learn, and grow into active global citizens. You also support local partners in different world regions who create hopeful futures.
