DOHA, Qatar, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Six pioneering projects addressing global educational challenges have been recognized by WISE, an initiative of Qatar Foundation, for their positive contribution to education and society. The 2022 WISE Awards winners are:
Opportunity EduFinance by Opportunity International (USA) helps children access quality schools through social finance.

Educating for Wellbeing by AtentaMente (Mexico) focuses on adult social and emotional competency (SEC) development, by promoting educators' wellbeing and building caring environments in the classroom and school, thus providing students with a protective learning environment.

Remake Learning (USA) connects students with learning experiences that cultivate creativity and imagination in and outside of the classroom.
