The 2022 SIMA Teacher Award is now accepting applications! In partnership with Qatar Foundation International, our annual global award is a recognition for outstanding accomplishments and dedication to using media resources to foster global competencies.

We greatly appreciate the invitation of Thomas Starr King Middle School Film Arts Magnet in Hollywood, Los Angeles to participate in the Facing the Future Together Conference to introduce SIMA Classroom to the school’s educators. Together we explored the power of films to advance Global Citizenship Education and take students' engagement to the next level.
Congratulations to the winners, finalists and special mentions of The SDG Challenge hosted in partnership with Asia-Pacific Center of Education for International Understanding under the auspices of UNESCO. We celebrate the courage and changemaking spirit of 10 educators from 6 different countries who unlocked the power of film to take their students beyond school walls, inspiring them to be media and information literate global citizens and active contributors to a more equitable and sustainable world.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support!
With warmth and gratitude from all of us at SIMA Classroom.
