To make the world care about the importance of early childhood development, we shared our message in a way that couldn’t be ignored. In partnership with UNICEF we spread that message to over 190 markets and translated it into 22 languages, giving families, hospitals and policy makers a thought provoking lesson on the future of all children.
Leading scientific research has proven how positive interactions in the first five years of a child’s life can have a remarkable impact on their entire future. Yet parents all around the world are finding this out too late, if ever. We needed a creative way to present the neuroscience so that everyone, everywhere would sit up and listen.
The world’s first TED Talk about neuroscience given by a 7-year-old.
To solve this global issue, we needed to connect two diverse groups of people on an emotional level. To do this, we took a common goal of parents and policy makers and demonstrated the impact it could have if that goal was reached. We put the proof of the research on a stage and let her convince the world that the first five years of a child’s life is everyone’s responsibility.
7-year-old Molly Wright took to the TED stage and proved what play-based learning in the first five years can produce. For over 7 minutes, Molly presented facts, experiments, and a heartfelt plea in a language anyone, anywhere would understand.
The film launched on the TED platform and in partnership with UNICEF it was spread to over 190 markets, translated into 22 languages, viewed over 23 million times and generated a global campaign reach of over 1.1 billion. It was watched by families, adopted by hospitals as far away as Afghanistan, and shown to policy makers. But the real impact will be felt in years to come as children are given everything they need to Thrive By Five.
