Another year of connecting classrooms across borders just wrapped up, and we wanted to share what happened. 2025 brought new challenges, valuable learning moments, and meaningful progress for our community. If you’re part of Class2Class.org, whether you created a project, made a connection, or are exploring what’s possible, this recap is for you.
Where we stand today
As of the end of 2025, here’s where our community has grown to:
- 4,882 registered teachers from around the world
- 963 students actively participating in projects
- 137 countries represented on the platform
- 1,089 projects created by educators
- 6,476 teacher matches completed
- 8,717 certificates issued recognizing participation
These numbers represent our continued commitment: teachers implementing international collaboration, students discovering perspectives beyond their own communities, and a platform that evolves to better serve both.
What has been improved
Strategic platform enhancements this year focused on improving the teacher experience across multiple touchpoints. Two major developments delivered measurable impact:
Language expansion: Spanish and Danish are now fully integrated into the platform. Supporting educators in their native language removes barriers to cross-cultural classroom projects and enables more confident platform navigation.
Platform enhancements: Targeted improvements strengthened core functionality throughout the year. A redesigned profile completion journey reduces onboarding friction. The transition from Inspire to Discover clarifies how teachers find and join projects. Enhanced safety and control features, including upgraded reporting tools and chat management, reinforce our commitment to secure classroom connections. Streamlined account and profile management gives teachers greater autonomy over their experience.
Expanding our team to support the community
Strategic team expansion this year enables us to better serve our growing community. Three key hires strengthen critical areas:
- Partnership development expands our network of organizations aligned with education for sustainable development, creating new pathways to resources and opportunities for our educators.
- AI engineering accelerates the development of intelligent tools that streamline project creation and management, making international classroom collaboration more accessible for teachers at every experience level.
- Enhanced marketing communication ensures timely updates, a stronger connection to the broader network, and responsive support for educators navigating the platform.
These strategic additions reflect our commitment to building infrastructure that scales with our community’s growth.
Examples of Projects That Inspired Us
Throughout 2025, our community delivered remarkable projects that demonstrate the power of international project-based learning. While every project represents meaningful work by dedicated educators, here are ten examples that showcase the diversity and creativity happening across the platform:
- Birds of Our Country – Diorama Project – Students sharing local biodiversity through art across India, Myanmar, and Malaysia
- Conscious Choice of Profession – Career exploration across different economic realities spanning 8 countries
- Renewable Energy Solutions Lab – Practical STEM collaboration on sustainability between India and Egypt
- The Leadership Blueprint: Skills for a Changing World – Students defining leadership together across India, Russia, and the USA
- Wall of Voices – Amplifying student perspectives against bullying across 7 countries
- Reading Is My Everything… or Not? – Literacy discussions between different cultures across 9 countries
These represent a fraction of the innovative work happening in our community. Each project demonstrates what’s possible when educators connect with purpose. The full recap PDF features detailed spotlights and additional projects that shaped our year.
Changemaker Missions: Taking Action on Global Challenges
Our Changemaker Missions provided structured frameworks for classrooms to engage with pressing global issues through collaborative action. Each mission focused on a specific theme, offering teachers ready-to-implement projects while encouraging student agency and creative problem-solving.
- Voices for Peace (May) invited students to create and share messages promoting unity and understanding across cultural divides. Classrooms from India, Russia, and Ghana created peace pledges and exchanged perspectives on what peace means in their communities.
- My Robot, My Helper (June) explored artificial intelligence and innovation, challenging students from India and Bangladesh to design creative robot helpers that could solve real problems in their schools or communities, sharing their ideas globally through drawings, digital designs, or models.
- From My Kitchen to the World (July) used food as a bridge for cultural exchange. Students from India, Turkey, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Taiwan shared traditional recipes, cooking methods, and the stories behind their family meals through short videos, creating meaningful connections through shared human experiences.
- Reimagine Waste, Inspire the World (September) tackled sustainable development by having classrooms from India, South Korea, and the USA collaborate on creative solutions to waste management. Students selected discarded objects and transformed them into something useful, comparing challenges and innovations across different geographic contexts.
The complete 2025 recap includes detailed descriptions of each mission, participation data, and examples of student work that emerged from these collaborative challenges.
