Think Equal is the first global education initiative endorsed by the UN Human Rights Office that is introducing social and emotional intelligence learning to children in early years education between the ages of 3-7 years. The new subject aims to teach children universal values of compassion, empathy and respect and also key skills of critical thinking, peaceful conflict resolution, citizenship and life skills. The global initiative is launching this year as a pilot programme across 1055 schools in 17 countries, including Sri Lanka, Canada, UK, Botswana and Kenya. This initiative is founded by Founding CEO and acclaimed film maker and human rights activist Leslee Udwin (maker of award winning films "India's Daughter" and "East is East") and Founding Trustee and international lawyer Aritha Wickramasinghe. Its patrons and ambassadors include Rosy Senanayake, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Susan Sarandon, Lord Verjee and Sir Ken Robinson.
