Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm Jason Palmer.
And I'm Rosie Blaur.
Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.
In my off time, I've been doing a lot of work with our sister organization,
The Economist Educational Foundation, making kids worldwide more news savvy.
Today, we visit a school to see the foundation's work in action and talk about how you can be a part of it.
