TikTok partners with educators to bring together short-form entertainment and learning. Today we've launched #LearnOnTikTok, a new programme in partnership with leading educators, experts, real-world skills creators and NGOs to bring together entertainment and learning on TikTok.
Starting with a €13M ($15MUSD) investment across Europe, we're using the power of our platform to help educators everywhere share their talents and knowledge to our diverse community of users. From life hacks to science tutorials, motivational tips to quick cooks - we want to help people access a wide-ranging experience of learning that is personal, local and specific to their everyday lives. In the UK, some of our initial launch partners include: @English.Heritage - sharing facts about British history and heritage sites in a fun and entertaining way. And some of our leading TikTok creators are also transforming their content to make it more educational and informative for our community.
