Sesame Workshop
Overview
Sesame Workshop is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children grow smarter, stronger, and kinder. Founded in 1968 as the Children's Television Workshop by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, it revolutionized children's media with the launch of Sesame Street in 1969. Over the past five decades, Sesame Workshop has expanded its reach beyond television, engaging in educational research, curriculum development, and large-scale social impact projects across more than 150 countries. The organization's initiatives address a wide range of topics, including literacy, numeracy, emotional well-being, and social issues. Programs like Ahlan Simsim, an Arabic-language adaptation of Sesame Street, provide educational content tailored to children affected by displacement and conflict in the Middle East and North Africa. Sesame Workshop also tackles challenging subjects such as mental health, racial justice, and trauma, offering resources to support children and families through various life experiences.
