Help us serve 1 million+ students

Thank you for your ongoing support of SIMA Classroom and helping us to bring social impact films and discussions to students worldwide. We couldn’t do it without you! 

SIMA Classroom’s reach has continued to grow and we now serve 169 schools and organizations reaching over 41,000 students in 26 countries. Thanks to your support we have been able to continue providing SIMA Classroom for free to at least 90% of participating educators, new members of our community include: a learning center in Cambodia; public schools in Los Angeles; and an english language class in Morocco.

SIMA Classroom films are a springboard for bringing knowledge and inspiring students to take action. Here’s one student’s reaction to watching SIMA films:

“he said he would’ve never watched these docs on his own. Now that he’s seen films from around the world, he’s more receptive to what else he can learn and wants to be more open with his viewing choices.”

We are always developing new resources on SIMA Classroom to bring global citizenship education to more students. Here are some of the highlights:

• Playlists: Our Playlists are curated film collections addressing a range of global citizenship education themes. We’ve curated new dedicated Playlists for these topics: Gender Equality; VR for Change; and Immigration.
• Virtual Exchange: We’re collaborating with an International Film Club to pilot virtual exchange based on SIMA documentaries. The Club connects classes  from around the world, including Israel, Morocco and the USA, to watch the documentary SUNFLOWER SEEDS and then work together on collaborative activities.

SIMA Classroom films are selected from the finalists and winners of the annual international Social Impact Media Awards. In the coming weeks we will be adding the SIMA 2018 finalists and winners to the SIMA Classroom film collection. We’re excited to see the reaction of educators and students to this new batch of social impact films.

With warmth and gratitude from all of us at SIMA Classroom.
