The idea of R4E: Uniting power, skills,creativity and experience create a higher impact for a better more sustainable world, we all need.  Run4Education is a student initiative, uniting students, schools and companies under a common goal. Education is the key to empowerment for all children around the world, but education is not accessible for all.

Run4Education aims to support the United World Schools Mission Teach the Unreached, a movement to give life opportunities to some of the poorest children  living in marginalized remote communities of the world.

At the same time as empowering students of our western world to become active global leaders, learning important (soft-)skills our future world needs.

"We run, they learn” - The R4E-Student Team across BBIS, BCS, BMS, BBS und BIS chose this as their motto for the first R4E 2022 in Berlin. It took place on October 7th, 2022 at the Hangar1, the airfield of the former airport Berlin-Tempelfhof."Education is a human right. If we see injustice, we are obliged to take a stand against it", Maya A. Dannenberg, BCS Berlin. 250 from grade 11/12 met to have fun, run and fundraise. The conclusion from all: we want to go on, because it is a win-win for all.

This year we raised around 20.000 EUROS - that will cover the annual schoolfees for 200 girls in UWS-Schools in Cambodia and Nepal. Children and families of indigenous people get a voice through education. UWS is a brand for developing education, providing sustainable&systematic change in the poorest regions of the world.

Please follow the project on Instagram @run_4_education, 100 percent run by students, and on the UWS website. Photos/videos of the event will follow soon.

The R4E-Project is about setting up the event and working on Pr/Promotion to establish it as an attractive brandname companies would like to invest in. You will work in a team with students across many schools, allowing you to contribute according your skills and time. Online-Meetings will be scheduled over a planning period of approx 9 month. You will be coached and supported by ConCultures/UWS and your CAS-Coordinator.

UWS offers you some interesting benefits, like a network and online plattforms/webinars from United World Schools connecting with international students around the world. You are invited to a student ambassador project placement in UWS schools in Nepal, Cambodia, Myanmar or Madagaskar and UWS submits certificates.
