Latin America

Sesame Workshop has been a part of life in Latin America for multiple generations. Known locally as Plaza Sésamo or Vila Sésamo in Brazil, our beloved local television co-productions are some of the most trusted media properties in the region and a feature of early learning for millions of children.

In addition to television, Sesame Workshop has built a robust presence across multiple countries through a range of direct programs that combine media, research, structured educational interventions, and engagement with local governments and partners to reach children and their families with meaningful learning experiences and life-saving lessons.
