Sesame Workshop supports Act For Early Years

A new film explains why every child around the world deserves the best start in life and calls for people to join the growing movement demanding action from leaders.

Sesame Workshop’s beloved characters are deeply impactful around the world. So we’re delighted that the organisation has made a special film to support the Act For Early Years campaign.

The video tells why every child deserves the best start in life and calls for people to join a growing movement calling for urgent action by the international community.

The film has been released ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where world leaders will gather next week. Act For Early Years calls for greater investment to ensure all children get quality childcare and pre-primary education.

Sesame Workshop is the global impact non-profit behind Sesame Street and so much more. For more than 50 years, it has worked at the intersection of education, media and research, creating joyful experiences that enrich minds and expand hearts.

Sesame Workshop has always focused on the youngest children because research shows they have the greatest potential to learn. The organisation reaches more than 150 million children in 150 countries with educational media and content.

With a mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger and kinder, it provides playful early learning to children who need it most, empowering each generation to build a better world.
