Class2Class.org – Connecting Classrooms for a Better World

Jan. 24th

International Day of Education

Every January 24, classrooms around the world come together to celebrate International Education Day, a moment to recognize education as a fundamental human right and a powerful force for peace, inclusion, and sustainable development.

Why This Day Matters

This day is a moment to recognize education as a shared right and a powerful way to connect people across cultures and contexts. At Class2Class, we see this day as an opportunity to turn learning into a more meaningful, human experience connected to the real world.

Language & Communication

Practice listening, speaking, and expressing opinions respectfully.

Critical Thinking

Reflecting on educational realities and on more inclusive experiences.

Collaboration

Learning from peers in different contexts through international classroom exchanges.

Cultural Awareness

Valuing diverse perspectives to build a respectful learning environment.

What happens when you celebrate with us?

Instead of a one-day discussion, you can turn this celebration into a small project where students create, reflect, and collaborate with another classroom. Through Class2Class.org, you’ll find ready-to-use ideas that make it easy to connect with teachers worldwide and guide your students through a real global learning experience.
