"Games allow you to enter that universal experience of shared connection and meaning"  

Dina Buchbinder  is a Mexican social entrepreneur who co-founded Education for Sharing (E4S) in 2006. 

 Education for Sharing’s (E4S) mission is to form better citizens from childhood through innovative education programs based on the power of play and physical activity. E4S uses social and emotional learning techniques, and every session combines fun and creative games that prompt children to reflect on global challenges and civic values, including the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. 

Since the organisation’s inception, more than 1,3 M individuals have benefited from its programs

Dina has been recognized as part of several organisations for her social work and entrepreneurship.  She is an Ashoka Fellow, Edmund Hillary Fellow, Schusterman Fellow, Vital Voices Lead, Global Shaper of the World Economic Forum, a member of the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Community, amongst others. She also received the “2018 Emerging Global Leader Award” by the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
