About us
NYU Global TIES for Children is an international research center embedded within New York University's Institute of Human Development and Social Change (IHDSC) and supported by NYU New York. At Global TIES for Children we design, evaluate and advise on programs and policies to improve the lives of children and youth in the most vulnerable regions across the globe. We work with some of the world’s leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and with governments in low-income (LI) and conflict-affected (CA) countries on developing and evaluating innovative approaches to promoting holistic development of children and their communities. Together with our key strategic partner organizations our work leverages cutting-edge scientific methods and interdisciplinary collaboration to: - Generate actionable evidence to promote child and youth development by conducting and evaluating powerful strategies to transform relevant “social settings” (i.e., classrooms, schools, families, communities, etc.) that are key drivers of children’s learning and well-being; - Communicate actionable evidence by engaging diverse stakeholders across sectors and regions and disseminating a rigorous evidence base to inform program and policy decisions for children and youth in LI and CA countries; - Build human, administrative, and institutional capacity for a robust global science and practice through the provision of professional development and training activities.

Proud to share that Ahlan Simsim is featured as a case study and resource on mainstreaming disability inclusion into programs for children and families. Thank you Disability Reference Group (drg) and huge thank you to Sesame Workshop and International Rescue Committee colleagues and to our amazing funders MacArthur Foundation and The LEGO Foundation. https://lnkd.in/erhg5zkx This is a product of the Sesame Workshop-IRC partnership and in particular big efforts by Maria del Sol Prieto Bayona, Maram Shahin, Samina Singh and Marianne Stone and Heidi Rosbe (among many others at IRC). The world building of Ameera was a beautiful and enormous effort and was not possible without Scott Cameron, Estee Bardanashvili, Katie Stuller, Tazwell Caputo, Dina Masri, Shanna Kohn and Kim Foulds. It is truly the Sesame Workshop model in action where our Production, Research, and Education colleagues work together so wonderfully. So thankful also for the contributions and guidance from our advisor Suzanne Zuidema. HUGE shout out to Marina Gabriel for her tireless program management effort on this case study and to Savannah Soter for being vital to making it happen. Rene Celaya leadership, passion and commitment was a driving force as well as Mousa Naji support and skills. Ameera and our disability work would not be possible without the trusted philanthropy and invaluable partnership and support of Kristen J. Molyneaux, Ph.D. at Lever for Change and MacArthur Foundation. The belief and support by Anita Anastacio and LEGO Foundation helped bring all of this to life. #sesameworkshop #irc #ahlansimsim #disability #ecd

🎉 On this very first #InternationalDayofPlay, we’re excited to release two new briefs from our Play to Learn project, showcasing the transformative power of play for fathers and through children’s media. 🌍👶 Play is more than fun — it's essential for children’s development. It builds resilience, confidence, and crucial life skills. Yet, to truly harness its power, we need supportive policies, training, and investment in inclusive, safe play spaces. See the two briefs below to learn what we found evaluating two different interventions that integrate play into early childhood development programming. 1️⃣ Father Engagement Model in Rohingya Camps and Host Communities in Cox’s Bazar, #Bangladesh: In Rohingya camps and nearby communities, fathers are being empowered through play by the NGO BRAC. Over a 6-month period, we found that this program improved fathers’ engagement with their family and their parenting , reduced child corporal punishment, and for disadvantaged families reduced father’s depression and boosted child vocabulary. 2️⃣ Children’s Media Program on Emotional and Math Skills in #Colombia: In areas of Colombia affected by conflict, where traditional play may face disruption, such as in Venezuelan refugee communities, a digital format for learning through play was introduced. Through “Watch, Play, Learn,” children receive Sesame Workshop’s playful, educational content via WhatsApp. We found that these short, engaging videos improved children’s ability to identify emotions, encouraging children to learn through play. Let's celebrate #InternationalDayofPlay by recognizing the importance of play in every child's life! 🎈✨ 📢 Visit our website to read the briefs and learn more about Play to Learn: 🔗 https://bit.ly/4aX0UEP
