Thank you for your interest in the SMARTer Kids™ Foundation ImagiNations program. Since the program’s inception in 2003, more than 20,000 students in nearly 900 classrooms around the world have hosted ImagiNations teddy bears and learned about peers across the boundaries of culture, language and distance in the process. The program exposed students to the cultures, perspectives and daily lives of students from different cities and countries.

As part of ongoing efforts by the SMARTer Kids Foundation of Canada to deliver programs that are relevant and engaging in today’s 21st century learning environments, the ImagiNations program has been suspended for 2008–2009. We hope you will continue to support innovative, cross-cultural education opportunities in your classroom.
