The IB community now includes more than 2200 schools, 600,000 students, teachers, parents, staff and examiners and other colleagues in more than 125 countries.

In an effort to strengthen this large and growing community and the IB mission, which we share, the IB has initiated an exciting new project— the IB community theme. The idea of a community theme was conceived in 2006 and the first theme: sharing our humanity, was officially launched in April 2007 at the annual general meeting.
