Partnerships
Partner with Big Red Education
At Big Red Education, our partnerships span universities, publishing houses, and organisations across three continents, connecting ambitious high school students with experiences no classroom can offer alone.
From a Deakin University professor shaping the future of sports science, to a Penguin Random House India editor deciding what gets published next, to a Model UN body that trains delegates for the world stage, each partnership brings students face to face with people actively shaping their field.
The result isn’t a logo on a slide, it’s a mentor, a byline, or a project a student carries with them well beyond the programme.
In Partnership with Leading Organisations
Harvard Graduate School of Education – Global Education Leadership Collective (HGSE-GELC)
The Global Education Leadership Collective (HGSE-GELC) is a student-led initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education that brings together emerging education leaders, researchers, and changemakers from around the world.
Our partnership with HGSE-GELC enables Big Red Education to bring global perspectives on leadership, education, and social impact to high school students through leadership conferences, bootcamps, and experiential learning programs.
Through these experiences, students engage with ideas around leadership, strategic thinking, collaboration, innovation, and social impact while learning to approach complex challenges from multiple perspectives.
Together, we create platforms where young students can move beyond learning about leadership to practising it through discussions, case studies, collaborative challenges, and real-world problem-solving.
Penguin Random House India
Big Red Education partners with Penguin Random House India, one of India’s leading publishing houses, to create opportunities for young writers to develop and showcase their creative voice.
Our flagship collaboration is the National Young Authors Challenge, a national writing competition for students in Grades 8–12. The initiative gives students the opportunity to write original stories, develop their ideas, and participate in a professional publishing journey. The first edition culminated in the selection of winning entries and their publication through Penguin Random House India.
Beyond the competition, our collaboration has also brought Penguin authors and publishing professionals directly into the learning experience through creative writing workshops for high school students. These sessions give students an opportunity to understand storytelling, develop their writing, receive expert perspectives, and learn what it takes to create work for a real audience.
Ivy League MUN Conference (ILMUNC)
Bringing an Ivy League MUN Experience to High School Students
ILMUNC (Ivy League Model United Nations Conference) is a premier high school Model United Nations conference hosted by students from the University of Pennsylvania.
Big Red Education partners with ILMUNC to bring this experience to high school students in India through ILMUNC India, giving students the opportunity to participate in a rigorous, university-affiliated MUN environment without having to travel internationally.
Through multi-day conferences, students step into the role of diplomats, policymakers, and representatives, researching complex global issues, debating competing perspectives, negotiating with other delegates, and working towards solutions.
The experience goes beyond conventional MUN participation by placing students in an environment that develops diplomacy, public speaking, negotiation, critical thinking, collaboration, and global awareness.
Futures Abroad - Dubai
Connecting Students With Global Learning Opportunities in Dubai
Futures Abroad is one of our education partners in Dubai, with whom we collaborate to deliver immersive workshops and learning experiences for high school students.
Through this partnership, Big Red Education brings its experiential learning approach to students in Dubai through programs focused on some of the most relevant areas for the next generation, leadership, artificial intelligence, research, and entrepreneurship.
Our workshops are designed to take students beyond theoretical learning and give them opportunities to analyse problems, develop ideas, work collaboratively, and apply what they learn to real-world challenges.
