We connect changemakers
Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF) serves as a dynamic platform that connects changemakers from around the world who are united in their commitment to promoting children's rights and advancing human development. Embracing diversity, EsF's global network brings together individuals from various countries, backgrounds, and fields of expertise who are working towards the application of Montessori principles to create a better world for children irrespective of race, religion, or belief.
EsF enhances capacity-building efforts by linking Montessori teachers, advocates, students, schools and organizations to communities, social entrepreneurs, local officials and policymakers. This interconnectedness improves the visibility and credibility of Montessori education, ultimately expanding its availability and accessibility to children worldwide.
EsF strengthens and broadens the network by preparing individuals to carry out the broader social mission of the Montessori movement primarily by deepening their understanding of the needs of humanity and the development of the child by revisiting Montessori principles and practices from the perspective of society at large.
EsF organizes events and Assemblies, fostering connections among individuals involved or interested in the fields of Montessori and child development. These gatherings serve as vital platforms for sharing knowledge, ideas, and experiences, collectively advancing the cause of Montessori education and shaping the future of child development worldwide.
