Education engagement

Learning for life

We work alongside children and young people to keep them engaged in education, build their confidence, and help them thrive.

What to expect from us

Tailored learning support

We work alongside students, families, and schools to address barriers to learning, offering personalised support that helps kids stay connected and succeed.

Strengths-based approach

Our programs focus on what children and young people do well, building on their interests and talents to foster motivation, resilience, and self-belief.

Community-powered learning

We partner with local organisations, educators, and families to co-design solutions that respond to real needs, ensuring education is relevant, accessible, and empowering.

Best of global and local

We combine over 100 years of global expertise in children’s rights with deep local roots. Our community-based teams understand local needs, ensuring tailored support that empowers children and families to thrive.

I love coming to school on Thursdays to come to Hands on Learning… it’s the light of school.

Making rights real through learning

Educational engagement programs help children to realise their rights, especially:

Article 28

Education is a right, not a privilege. Primary education must be free and available to all children. Secondary and higher education (like TAFE or uni) must be accessible.

Article 29

Education should go beyond academic learning. It should develop each child's personality, talents and abilities. It should also build respect for human rights, the environment and cultural differences.

Article 12

Every child has the right to express their views on matters that affect them, and to have those views taken seriously.
