Level Up Village and the Players Trust Launch Youth Program

Level Up Village (LUV), a global collaboration initiative from Language Testing International (LTI), has partnered with the Players Trust, the charitable arm of the Major League Baseball Players Association, to introduce The Players Exchange. This free, innovative youth development program empowers students through project-based learning and global collaboration.

The Players Exchange provides students with unique insights from Major League Baseball Players. Participants engage in tasks and teamwork challenges, sharing their progress via video with partner classrooms worldwide. The program includes hands-on activities, guided discussions, and the involvement of MLB Players, focusing on developing essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, cross-cultural communication, and teamwork.

"This program demonstrates the exponential value created through collaboration," said Amy Hever, Players Trust Director. "By combining the power of sport with cutting-edge learning approaches, we aim to inspire curiosity and a love of learning in students globally."

"The Players Exchange empowers students and educators to engage in meaningful collaboration and emerge as compassionate leaders," noted Tiziana Aime, CEO of Language Testing International.
