🎉 tangerine:ed Makes Its Global Debut at the HiPPO World Finals
Last week marked a defining moment for tangerine:ed as we officially launched our brand at the HiPPO World Finals in Italy, the world's largest international English language competition.
Bringing together exceptional young learners, proud parents, dedicated country coordinators, and education professionals from across the globe, the event provided the perfect stage to introduce our vision for the future of international education.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Speaking to the global HiPPO the Competition community, Graham Colloby & Edwina Laycock introduced tangerine:ed’s mission to create life-changing educational opportunities for young people worldwide.
Their message highlighted the power of language learning, international experiences, and cultural exchange in helping students unlock their full potential.
For many attendees, this was their first introduction to tangerine:ed. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with genuine enthusiasm for our commitment to helping students broaden their horizons and achieve their ambitions through education.
Proud to Support the HiPPO Community
As a proud sponsor of HiPPO the Competition, tangerine:ed was honoured to support an event that has empowered thousands of students to develop confidence in English communication while building friendships that transcend borders.
The values at the heart of HiPPO the Competition closely mirror our own. We believe education is one of the most powerful tools for connecting cultures, creating opportunities, and inspiring the next generation of global citizens.
The finals showcased remarkable talent from students representing countries across multiple continents, highlighting what can be achieved through dedication, perseverance, and a passion for learning.
Celebrating Outstanding Achievement
One of the highlights of the event was the opportunity for tangerine:ed to recognise excellence through three special competition awards.
Awards were presented to winners in the following categories:
HiPPO 2
HiPPO 3
HiPPO 4
Presenting these awards was a particularly proud moment for our team. Celebrating the achievements of students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to language learning reminded us exactly why supporting programmes like HiPPO the Competition matters.
The joy and excitement shared by the winners and their families created unforgettable moments and reinforced the life-changing potential of educational opportunity.
The Perfect Launch Platform
There could hardly have been a more fitting venue for the launch of tangerine:ed.
The HiPPO the Competition World Finals bring together ambitious young people who are eager to embrace new opportunities, explore different cultures, and develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. These aspirations align perfectly with the values at the heart of our organisation.
From insightful conversations with country coordinators to inspiring interactions with students and parents, the event demonstrated the extraordinary impact of international collaboration and global learning.
Looking Ahead
The launch of tangerine:ed at the HiPPO the Competition World Finals marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
We are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome we received from the HiPPO the Competition community and proud to have introduced our vision to such an inspiring international audience.
As we move forward, we look forward to building new partnerships, creating opportunities for students worldwide, and continuing to champion programmes that promote language learning, academic advancement, cultural exchange, and international understanding.
To every finalist, participant, parent, coordinator, and organiser who contributed to this year's event, congratulations on an incredible achievement.
Thank you, HiPPO. Here's to the future of international education and the exciting journey ahead for tangerine:ed. 🚀
