Education Builds Tomorrow

A Reception During the United Nations General Assembly

As Theirworld prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary, we invite you to meet some of the young people from around the world who are committed to ensuring every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for future.  

Date: Monday, September 21, 2026
Location: New York City
Time: 6:00pm onwards

At a time of rapid technological change, conflict, shrinking global aid budgets, and competing domestic priorities, this reception will feature stories from Theirworld Global Youth Ambassadors and our partners revealing the hope and positivity that come from working together in communities worldwide to ensure every child has the chance to learn, thrive, and build a better tomorrow.  

During the reception, we will launch the second edition of The Education Issue – a newspaper spotlighting the education challenges, innovations and opportunities in communities around the world – and invite guests to interact with youth journalists and their stories.   

The venue is located in central Manhattan, a short distance from the United Nations Headquarters and will be communicated to confirmed attendees.
