OUR WORLD

Our World empowers schools, nonprofits, and businesses to address systemic bias and foster equitable environments where all people thrive. AEF's Our World program is a ground-breaking initiative that aligns with AEF’s mission of celebrating excellence and cultivating equity in PK-12th grade Arizona public education. Designed by Arizona Teachers of the Year, higher education and nonprofit partners, and AEF staff, Our World has a unique non-biased approach that supports education and business partners with fulfilling commitments to adopt more equitable practices.

 

Specially, Our World training strives to accomplish the following:

 

• Creates a roadmap for establishing or expanding upon culturally inclusive and responsive learning and work environments;

• Provides individuals with tools for recognizing and addressing bias within school, corporate, and nonprofit environments; and

• Fosters open communication about the issues of bias, race, identity, and social justice.

​

​Ultimately, Our World is a place where all stakeholders are involved in creating equitable and just environments.
