World Children’s Day · A global relay for educational change
24h for Change in Education 2026
November 20, 2026
From East to West, educators, students, schools and organizations will come together to share what is changing—and to imagine what education can become.
The time to change is now
One day. One world. Thousands of possibilities.
On November 20, the conversation will travel around the world. At 10:00 a.m. in each participating region, local voices will become part of a continuous 24-hour exploration of how learning is changing—and how we can shape that change together.
