 | | Founded in 1968, Sesame Workshop is a non-profit organisation that partners with local writers, artists, researchers and educators in 120 countries around the world to create entertaining yet educational (edutainment) programmes with characters, sets, and content specifically designed for young children. |
 | | Sesame Workshop is creating off-air educational initiatives such as Sesamstrasse Live, which has visited various cities throughout Germany; through "giant-large portion fun", laughing, and dancing, children learn about friendship and tolerance. |
 | | Sesame Workshop collaborates with local producers, Egypt's First Lady, child development experts, educators, and psychologists to develop this educational curriculum in response to local needs. |
