Help us serve 1 million+ students

Designed as a fast track to global citizenship education, SIMA Classroom takes students on a journey from empathy and critical thinking to action. Over 2,215 educators, 73,120 students and 470 institutions globally are already using the platform.  

Selected from the finalists and winners of the annual Social Impact Media Awards, SIMA Classroom is a global, ever-current and expansive streaming platform presenting the gold standard of social-issue cinematic storytelling. It provides access to a carefully curated collection of over 185 award-winning short documentaries and Virtual Reality films with learning resources and participatory skill-building lesson plans. 

In the path from the New Normal to a New Future, it has become evident there are urgent issues we need to tackle without delay and we need to collaborate and unite to find long term solutions. In order to contribute to this common endeavor, we have developed new projects with old friends and new partners to scale our impact. 

Invited by GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, we hosted a virtual workshop for arabic educators at the Institute of Middle East Studies, to advance impact media literacy and the significance of documentary film in 21st century global education. 

We have proudly joined PLANET CLASSROOM, a network platform organized by CMRubinWorld bringing together musicians, dancers, video games creators, filmmakers, learning innovators and emerging technologists from all over the world to entertain, educate and engage youth, and provide a rich cultural experience at a time when art and learning institutions are not accessible everywhere. 

Thanks to Qatar Foundation International's continued support, SIMA Student Film Club ended 2020 with an extraordinary line-up on Sustainability followed by a virtual exchange with the Arabic Honor Society students and filmmaker Aaron Kisner and social business entrepreneur Manal Yaish Zraiq.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

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