Thrive25
Join the Founding Cohort
Thrive25 – Global Exchange of 25-Minute Daily Health Routines, powered by the IIOPE.
We unite leading Early Childhood Education and Care Programmes to co-design the gold-standard 25-minute routine for preschools — a bold, practical pathway to healthier, more resilient generations.

Gain global visibility by sharing your approach in a curated COP30 hybrid session (mini-TED talk format) — and by presenting implementation outcomes at COP31 to accelerate the adoption of proven routines globally.

Thrive25 advances UN SDGs and calls on schools, NGOs, and governments to join the first wave and co-design scalable solutions for child wellbeing, climate resilience, and health equity.
