International Day of Education 2025 – SIE

Soroptimist International of Europe Committed to Lifelong Learning

On this UN International Day of Education, Soroptimist International of Europe (SIE) reaffirms its dedication to lifelong learning as a cornerstone of empowerment and progress. Education does not stop after formal schooling—it is a journey that continues throughout life, enriching individuals and enabling them to make a positive impact on their communities.

SIE takes lifelong learning to heart and actively provides webinars and workshops for their members on diverse and relevant topics, equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need to advocate for change.
One particularly significant focus is addressing violence against women. Through these educational sessions, SIE provides its members with comprehensive information, including the latest statistics, in-depth background knowledge, and strategies for raising awareness and promoting prevention.

As one participant shared, “The webinar on Violence Against Women reminded me that behind every statistic is a real woman who has experienced violence. I’m deeply grateful for the tools SIE has provided, helping us respond more effectively and compassionately.”

By educating its members, SIE strengthens their ability to make a difference in their local communities and beyond. On this special day, SIE celebrates the power of education to transform lives and reaffirm its commitment to fostering lifelong learning for a better, more equitable future. Together, we can continue to empower women and girls through education, advocacy, and action.
