Partnership with ELT Songs Plc to
develop and sell interactive educational content for UN program of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) educational programs
TORONTO, June 8, 2023
/CNW/ - Everybody Loves Languages Corp. ("ELL"
or the "Company") (TSXV: ELL) (OTC: LMDCF) (FSE:
LIMA),
www.everybodyloveslanguages.com, an
edtech language learning edutainment and content
development company, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership
to become the technology platform provider and worldwide exclusive
distributor (excluding the B2C category) for multi-award-winning
education company, ELT Songs Plc ("ELT Songs"). Under
the agreement and with ELT Songs' vision, the Company will develop
engaging, interactive videos and content that is aligned with the
UN-adopted Sustainable Development Goals ("SDG") initiative,
a collection of 17 global goals to improve the planet and the
quality of human life around the world by 2030.
This new, innovative partnership leverages the respective
strengths of Everybody Loves Languages state-of-the-art e-learning
platform technology and ELT Songs learning content to create a
compelling educational program combined with distribution, adding
value for both companies. Under the terms of the agreement,
Everybody Loves Languages will advance US$150,000 against future royalties, incorporate
a new company ("NewCo") for the distribution of ELL-ELT Songs
partnership business, and issue 15% of the common shares of NewCo
to ELT Songs. The companies also agreed to sell and distribute
worldwide on the ELL technology platform, Planet Pop, a successful
primary school interactive video program developed by ELT
Songs.
"The ELL-ELT Songs partnership is a powerful combination. ELT
Songs is one of the most creative and dynamic developers of
learning materials and videos in existence, and bringing together
ELL's technology platform and distribution relationships
establishes a combined competitive advantage to promote SDG, one of
the hottest topics in the world today," said Gali Bar-Ziv, CEO of Everybody Loves
Languages. "Additionally, integrating Planet Pop with ELL's
technology platform will add another key portfolio product to our
myriad of offerings, thus creating a win-win-win proposition."
"Our partnership with ELL brings forth a new era where
blockbuster content and advanced technology converge to redefine
how we educate and inspire," said Jake
Carter, founder and CEO of ELT Songs and Planet Pop. "Our
core focus is on children and how we can make learning a hundred
times more engaging than ever. Through this transformative
approach, we witness the sheer delight of children immersed in
their educational journey, fueling their curiosity about pressing
global concerns and accelerating their progress in making an impact
now. We are about inspiring young minds and opening doors to
boundless possibilities."
The new bespoke learning program, Sustainable Development
Goals Explorers, teaches global issues through fun "learn and
play" methodologies. The super engaging lessons transform
learning into fun videos, songs, quizzes, and games for
teaching the younger generation how to be better citizens of the
world by featuring multiple areas for action, such as poverty and
sanitation, while addressing people's social needs.
The Sustainable Development Goals was adopted by the United
Nations in 2015 as a call to action for people worldwide to address
five critical areas of importance: people; planet; prosperity;
peace; and partnership. At the heart of SDG are the 17 goals,
which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed
and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that
ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with
strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality,
and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and
working to preserve our oceans and forests.
According to one study encompassing 22 countries, 49% of all
parents said they are concerned that their children's curriculums
are outdated and that fast-paced media consumption is leading to
lack of engagement in the classroom. An absence of education leads
to additional depletion of resources and degradation of the planet.
