The "Global Future Talent Alliance" (GFTA), is a collaborative resource-sharing

ecosystem on a mission to reform education for our next generation. To this

end, GFTA will connect education innovators, philanthropies, and other

organizations eager to test and scale initiatives to close the global talent

gap. GFTA's resource-sharing mechanism allows innovative and experimental

education initiatives to find financial resources needed and learn about best

practices from around the world.

"The global skills gap is a critical issue for our current and future

generations. We welcome all education reformers to join this alliance and break

barriers together," said Cazadira Fediva Tamzil, Lead of GFTA by Pijar

Foundation. In its first year, GFTA aspires to support 25 initiatives globally.

EdHeroes and Pijar Foundation recently met education innovators across

Indonesia, including Princess Mangkubumi, the Royal family of Yogyakarta

member, well-known as a youth movement and education activist. They are also

taking part in the 2022 Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) conference in

Bali, Asia's largest social investing convening seeking to drive capital toward

impact.
