YourAccess to the Future: Changemaker

The 2030 agenda is part of a world transformation. Change and transformation needs to start within our day to day lives. Schools around the globe prepare students for academic purposes, but are lacking preparations for real-life global social leaders. Schools face several issues - but there is one unique goal they are all trying to reach: How to address the 2030 agenda?  How can we transform our students in real-life changemakers?  

An online gaming experience about the SDGS in which students create a possible World by taking a deep journey on learning with and from their counterparts from around the globe. Students with different backgrounds, but all having the same goal: to become real-life changemakers. 

YourAccess created an event in the format of a game.  A learning journey starts when students have access to our platform so a lot of content will be assimilated with pleasure and ease. The event YourAccess to the Future: ChangeMaker works on the 17 SDGs of the UN with stages, missions, and a big reward in the end: creating a virtual possible world while playing a game with students from schools around the globe, having the English language as the universal language to make connectiong during the gaming experience.

One of the missions of YouAccess Online is to establish partnerships with public schools in Brazil and around the globe. By doing this,all students from any kind of background-  students of low income for example- will be giving a chance to improve their education track, to learn and improve their knowledge of a foreign language, make connections to educatos and people around the. world and reflection on how all of them are responsible for creating a Possible World,  and this way, contribute to decreasing social inequality in Brazil and in the World.

Teaching has run in my family for generations. This legacy has taught me to take Education seriously and also blissfully.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Languages and a Teacher Certification for Portuguese and English subjects. I have a Master’s in TESOL and specialized in bilingualism which led me into learning more about Technology and Education. Moreover, building additional language curricula and training teachers and coordinators has reshaped my perspective on how a meaningful and contextualized class plan impacts someone’s life -from the teacher’s and the student’s perspective.

The more I learn and face obstacles in the Education field, the more I realize the extent of what lies ahead.

The most rewarding experience I have faced besides being a mom is to build from scratch my own company. Going through thick and thin during this rollercoaster ride called life has brought me the opportunity to gather the best IT and the top-notch bilingual team of educators to create YourAccess Online.

YourAccess is a platform of content and language learning courses that can be used as part of a school curriculum.  Yes,we CAN make a better experience for learners and educators around the globe.

Bruna Tadross has always been fascinated with the cognitive surplus culture approach as a way to expand talents and stablish connections between people, particularly by means of the new educational technologies brought up during the Covid-19 crisis. She envisioned a platform in which students, teachers, and experts could come together and build a two-way approach, patented as Double Learning methodology, paved on neuroscience, project-based learning, language and content learning (CLIL), and Cognitive Surplus.

Being part of Solve community will make our Changemaker gaming experience reach more educators, thus more schools around the globe.  Also, global companies will be able to recognize the Changemaker gaming experience as part of their ESG initiatives.
