The World of Us – or WoU – platform is the brainchild of a collective of brilliant minds from all over the world. Brought together, they identified the need to simplify and demystify complex concepts related to the technological evolution and its impact on humanity. The goal? To compile and simplify messages for the community in an open and inclusive way.

Our Information Hub is home to analytical and academic content on topics such as artificial intelligence, the future of learning and intersectional ecology, plus plenty of guidance for guardians on this ever-changing digital landscape. 

Coming up next in our journey: our WoU Game – a digital adventure space where children learn about the world around them through play. WoU Game explores important social, environmental, and cultural topics inspired by real events and never-before-published indigenous mythologies.
