Research and Insights
Leading the conversation about how media can educate children.
Ever since the landmark study that inspired Sesame Street, Sesame Workshop has been leading the conversation about how media can educate children.
For us, cracking the code of learning is a continuous process — and a collaborative one. Uniting researchers, educators, producers, and entrepreneurs, we’re forever inventing a more engaging, enriching, and encouraging world for children, even as their needs and environments change.
Reaching children and families around the world through the power of media.
Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee launched Ahlan Simsim in 2018 to address a humanitarian crisis: a generation of children raised amidst conflict, with limited access to early childhood learning and development opportunities. Another goal was to share our research and findings. Now, NYU has released the results of three landmark studies, with good news for children.
