Breaking the Wall of Digital Education

Tobias Ernst

Future Learning

COVID-19 has hit the NGO sector hard, with the closure of study centres and workshop facilities, compounded by uncertainty about future re-openings. For many organizations, the transition to offering classes and learning content online has been beset with challenges, as there are few affordable platforms with the necessary infrastructure to deliver digital education seamlessly to individuals in challenging learning environments. That is why Kiron is opening up it’s digital learning platform, Kiron Campus-enabling NGOs worldwide to create their own online learning space within the Kiron Collective Impact Campus in just a day and offering access to all of Kiron’s content and features. This enables organizations to continue delivering their educational programs to the communities they serve.
