Biography
Education for Sharing arrived to New Zealand in 2018 through the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, a program developed by the New Zealand government and the Edmund Hillary Institute, with the aim of finding initiatives with the greatest global impact.
The organization began operations in the country through the construction of networks with Maori communities, the government and other companies, that have found in Education for Sharing an ally to attend global challenges and to develop innovative solutions that New Zealand can then offer to the world.
