Deeper Learning New York

Dina Buchbinder is the Founder and President of Education for Sharing (E4S), a global nonprofit transforming education through the power of play. For over 18 years, E4S has engaged more than two million children, educators, and families across the Americas, fostering empathy, collaboration, and civic agency through a Play–Reflect–Act methodology that connects learning to sustainability and real-world impact. A National Geographic Explorer and Ashoka Fellow, Dina leads initiatives like Nature for Sharing to inspire environmental stewardship and systems thinking from childhood. As a social entrepreneur and advocate for joyful, inclusive learning, she builds bridges between education, science, and civic engagement. Dina believes deeper learning emerges when curiosity, creativity, and care meet action—when learners see themselves as protagonists of change.
