Blend Edu's Story: How it all began

Our history was born with a desire to transform realities, inside and outside organizations, and to create increasingly diverse environments so that people have access to the same opportunities.

We believe that change comes through collective responsibility, and we offer tools and knowledge so that each of our clients can gain the autonomy to lead the creation of an inclusive culture.
