Driving innovation through global networks, programs, and platforms
Exchanging Local Knowledge to Strengthen Learning Systems
In an interconnected economy, preparing learners demands global competence, cross-cultural collaboration, and adaptable problem-solving. Digital Promise collaborates with ministries, regional networks, and local practitioners to design learning environments that foster meaningful global exchange and equip students for an evolving workforce. Through collaborative networks like the Global Cities Education Network (GCEN) and the Ciena Solutions Challenge, as well as targeted projects like the Stevens Initiative Virtual Exchange, we connect educators and students directly across regions.
By pairing shared research with local leadership, we help school systems strengthen educator capacity, cultivate global mindsets, and implement sustainable practices tailored to community needs. Scalable platforms—including our micro-credentials and Badge Engine, the Learner Variability Navigator (LVN), and the HP AI Teacher Academy—provide practical tools for continuous learning, while our global thought leadership ensures local insights inform worldwide practice.

Innovation and Change: Lessons from the Global Cities Education Network
Urban school systems face critical challenges, but they are also uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change. Originally launched by Asia Society, the Global Cities Education Network connects city and education leaders across regions to share promising practices, address high-priority problems, and implement adaptable, system-wide solutions. This report highlights key findings and recommendations from an independent evaluation of how member cities collaborate to drive transformation.
