“Evolution and Play” is a workshop developed by Education for Sharing in collaboration with the LEGO Foundation, as part of the collection Pedagogy and Play: Workshops to Strengthen Professional Teaching Practice.

This workshop invites teachers and school leaders to explore the roots of cooperation and collaboration as essential tools for everyday life and learning.

Throughout the process, participants enhance their ability to design playful learning experiences that foster life skills and collaborative learning environments within their school communities.

It is aimed at preschool and primary school teachers, as well as educational leaders interested in:

• Integrating playful strategies into their teaching
• Strengthening children’s life skills
• Building more empathetic, participatory, and collaborative school environments

In alliance with UNICEF, this project aims to strengthen life and work skills in upper-secondary students through support for teachers.

The initiative began with the development of a pedagogical guide to help implement the online course Passport to Learning, previously created by UNICEF.

Later, Education for Sharing designed and delivered in-person training and four specialized webinars on the topic. A virtual support space was also created, where teachers participate in online learning communities, share experiences, and receive personalized feedback.

In Mexico, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), the Office of the Presidency for the 2030 Agenda, and Movimiento STEAM A.C., Education for Sharing developed the workbook The Sustainable Development Goals in My School, aimed at sixth-grade elementary students.

This material introduces children to the global challenges of the 2030 Agenda, encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and commitment to the common good within the classroom. Through playful, reflective, and contextualized activities, the workbook invites students to explore the SDGs and propose concrete actions to contribute from their immediate environment.

This workbook was included in Mexico’s official Free Textbook Catalog and is the first of its kind worldwide.

Education for Sharing, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education of Nuevo León and AT&T Mexico, promotes the program CIBERWellbeing, an initiative that encourages the safe, responsible, and conscious use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) among basic education students and teachers in the state of Nuevo León.

As part of the program, educational booklets were developed and distributed to primary and secondary students. These materials offer flexible, engaging activities to promote digital citizenship and prevent online violence.

Additionally, a pedagogical guidance guide was created for teachers to help them implement digital wellbeing strategies in the classroom.

This effort complements similar initiatives led by Education for Sharing in partnership with the Federal Educational Authority in Mexico City (AEFCM), with whom we also collaborate to foster critical and conscious digital citizenship.

The i5 framework promotes learning experiences that are meaningful, joyful, socially supportive, actively engaging, and iterative, helping to develop essential skills such as collaboration, empathy, and critical thinking.

Through the design and implementation of in-person workshops and webinars, the project fosters the development of life skills, cognitive, and collaborative skills in educators, empowering them to lead more innovative and sustainability-focused teaching processes aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

E4S contributed by developing pedagogical resources and facilitating training sessions that provided practical tools to over 60 educators from business schools, strengthening their ability to create more impactful and sustainable learning environments.

Power of Play was a project developed by Education for Sharing and The History Co:Lab, in partnership with the LEGO Foundation, that explored how play-based learning can transform educational experiences in museums and enhance civic competencies and well-being among children and youth.

The pilot was implemented in Kansas City, Missouri, and New York City, involving teachers, museum educators, and students. The project designed games around historical themes selected based on educators’ needs. These games were integrated into museum visits to stimulate curiosity and encourage critical reflection.

The project also offered training sessions on implementing play-based strategies in educational spaces. An evaluation tool was developed to assess the impact of these playful experiences compared to traditional ones, and a practical guide was created with activity models to support the creation of more inclusive, meaningful, and civic-focused learning environments.

Developed by Education for Sharing in collaboration with Fundación FEMSA, High Resolves, and Tecnológico de Monterrey, its goal is to promote empathy, effective communication, and collaboration among adolescents through the use of art and artificial intelligence.

Using differentiated intervention models (high, low, and no human interaction), facilitators and teachers were trained to guide sessions in which young people explored emotions, values, and cultural diversity with the support of AI tutors.

Experience AI is a project developed in alliance with the UK’s Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google Mexico. It aims to empower secondary school teachers in Mexico to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their classrooms.

Its main goal is to foster AI literacy and critical thinking through an innovative play-based methodology.

The project includes:

• A six-week virtual teacher training
• Development of complementary materials
• A WhatsApp-based virtual learning community

In 2021, Education for Sharing collaborated with Santander Mexico to strengthen its corporate volunteering program, aligning it with the institutional strategy Santander Way and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The proposal included:

• A diagnostic phase to assess existing processes
• Development of playful and formative content
• Design of a training model to scale implementation across internal teams

The process was complemented with awareness sessions, evaluation tools, and a dashboard to monitor key indicators.

Thanks to this collaboration, a more structured, participatory, and impact-driven volunteering strategy was consolidated.

In 2018, Education for Sharing collaborated with ENGIE Mexico to implement the volunteer initiative Soy agente de cambio (“I’m a Change Agent”), carried out in 21 public elementary schools across 9 states in the country.

This experience brought together corporate volunteer teams with school communities to promote environmental awareness and responsible use of renewable energy through play.

Activities during the volunteer days included:

• Restoration of educational spaces (painting, cleaning, and improving green areas)
• Play-based activities from the Science for Sharing program focused on the SDGs

The initiative directly benefited more than 7,600 children by strengthening their understanding of the environment, equality, and active citizenship—while also fostering a stronger sense of social responsibility among ENGIE staff.
