The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) has been supporting the Eduki Foundation since 2014. This support enables Eduki to develop its offer throughout Switzerland in German and Italian. The competition on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is supported by the Swiss Development Agency as well as by the Swiss Commission for UNESCO.

Since its beginning, the Eduki Foundation has worked closely with the Geneva Department of Public Education, Training and Youth – DIP. We would like to thank the State Councillor, the General Secretariat, the Directorate-General for Secondary Education I and II levels, the school administrations, directors and the teachers for their support and interest in Eduki’s activities. The competition on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is carried out with the support of the Head of Sustainable Development at the Geneva Department of Public Education and the focal points for Education for sustainable development.

The Fondation pour Genève helped to set up an education program in 2006 and since 2012 it has provided Eduki with a working infrastructure and financial support for the development of its activities. We thank the President, the Director and his team, as well as all the donors “Friends of the Fondation pour Genève ” without whom this support would not be possible.

Eduki warmly thanks the Loterie Romande for its generous support in making its website possible.

The Eduki Foundation warmly thanks the Ernst Göhner Foundation for its invaluable support in the creation of its website and its thematic dossiers.

Eduki would like to thank the Gelbert Foundation for supporting several editions of its Sustainable Development Goals competition since 2015.

The Eduki Foundation’s activities have also been expanded thanks to donations from the Fondation Gandur pour la Jeunesse.

The origins of the Eduki Foundation date back to 2006, when Mandat International launched an educational program designed to introduce young people to international Geneva. Building on the success of the first pilot year, the project was renewed each year, until in 2011, Eduki became a fully-fledged independent Foundation.

Eduki’s many activities at the Palais des Nations in Geneva are carried out with the invaluable support of the Director-General and the Information Service of the United Nations Office in Geneva.

The Perception Change Project (PCP) was launched in early 2014 by Michael Møller, Director-General of the United Nations Office in Geneva. The project aims to highlight the impact of the work carried out by the UN, international and non-governmental organizations and other Geneva-based institutions. The PCP is collaborating with Eduki on several projects like the UN@Scool as well as the Young Reporters at the UN, where they are in charge of finding speakers and experts.

Greycells – Association of Former International Civil Servants for Development – brings together members who have worked in some 15 major international organizations. Its members have extensive experience in international cooperation issues and related themes. Greycells collaborates on numerous projects such as #KidsWannaKnow, the Eduki competition on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and by proofreading and translating some of Eduki’s information material. Our sincere thanks go to all the members who support us with their time and expertise.

The primary mission of the Swiss Commission for UNESCO is to disseminate UNESCO’s message throughout Switzerland. It is committed to promoting interdisciplinary, intercultural and international Education and to promoting and spreading the ideals of UNESCO. It supports the Eduki competition and contributes to its dissemination to institutions throughout Switzerland, particularly to UNESCO Associated schools.

The International Museum of the Red Cross is an essential part of any discovery of international Geneva. The Eduki Foundation works closely with the Museum’s cultural department, offering programs as part of the Language Exchange program organized by the Geneva DIP, as well as special tours as part of the national competition.
