Our Mission
Connecting across the Equator
At Equator, we believe in the power of stories — and in genuine exchange.
We connect children and young people worldwide so they can learn, feel, share, and grow. Not through abstract theory, but by engaging directly with peers on the other side of the world.
We amplify voices that are rarely heard in the classroom. And we create opportunities for students to compare their own world with that of others — with curiosity, respect, and engagement.
We build bridges between schools and youth groups worldwide.
Equator promotes global citizenship through educational projects.
We do this via our international learning platform, where young people exchange videos to better understand each other’s lives and break down prejudice.
Equator fosters international collaboration, supports schools across the globe, and works with local and international partners, NGOs, colleges and universities, journalists, and documentary makers.
We carry out a wide range of activities to amplify the voices of children and young people across the Equator, with a special focus on those with limited opportunities in their own communities. Wherever possible, Equator actively engages in projects where local initiatives work to improve living conditions in their community.
Making Room for Action
At Equator, we believe learning leaves a deeper mark when it leads to action. That’s why we encourage young people not only to listen and talk, but also to take steps forward.
Through class projects, creative actions, or local campaigns, they help build a world where connection and solidarity become tangible.

Creating Lasting Change
Together with schools, young people, and partner organisations, we work towards a liveable future.
Young people bring their concerns, ideas, and hopes to life on screen — linking them to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
All 17 SDGs can be addressed: from climate action to gender equality, from quality education to decent work.
We always start from the strength of local communities. They shape the collaboration — not the other way around. This is how we help build a fairer model of international cooperation.
