Realscreen is honoring the late Dr. Jane Goodall during the Realscreen Awards ceremony set for February 3, during the 2026 Realscreen Summit.

The world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace is being celebrated with the Realscreen Action Award, which recognizes individuals whose work within the unscripted and non-fiction content sector has inspired meaningful social impact and driven positive change in the industry and beyond. Last year’s recipient of the Action Award was acclaimed filmmaker Dawn Porter.

Dr. Goodall’s work in the field as a pre-eminent scientist and animal behavior expert, and as a global voice for community-centered conservation and biodiversity protection, has been the focal point of scores of documentary films and series, dating back to 1965’s Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees, narrated by Orson Welles for National Geographic, to Brett Morgen’s riveting 2017 documentary Jane, also for Nat Geo. Through Jane Goodall Productions, she and her team have been in production and development on many upcoming projects, including Matriarch, a collaboration with BBC Studios, PBS and the WNET Group. Her passing in October of this year led to an outpouring of love from around the world, spanning world leaders, noted celebrities and inspired citizens — all of whom have been touched by her legacy.

“Over the span of decades, Jane Goodall’s name has been synonymous with the ideas of conservation, care for the animal kingdom and curiosity, and her presence and creative leadership in more than 40 documentaries and films, reflecting the important work of the Jane Goodall Institute, has cemented that status,” said Barry Walsh, content director and editor-in-chief for Realscreen. “We are honored to celebrate her lifetime of contribution — not only to the world of wildlife documentary, but to our understanding of the world around us — with our Action Award.”

Accepting the award on Dr. Goodall’s behalf will be her longtime film collaborator and the Jane Goodall Institute’s wildlife cinematographer, Bill Wallauer.

Established in 2010, the Realscreen Awards, held annually during the Realscreen Summit, have become a benchmark for excellence in non-fiction and unscripted content, celebrating the most innovative and impactful work from around the globe.

Jane Turton, CEO of All3Media, will also be inducted into the Realscreen Hall of Fame, and will take part in a keynote conversation at the Summit, bringing her unique perspective on the evolving global content industry.

CTA Foundation on the Road: Connecting Across Aging and Accessibility Spaces

CTA Foundation Executive Director Steve Ewell has been on the move this month, meeting with leaders across the aging and accessibility tech landscape. From national conferences to local events, these conversations are key to strengthening our partnerships and deepening our involvement.

Earlier in June, Steve attended On Aging 2025 , hosted by the American Society on Aging — one of the largest events focused on issues impacting older adults. With sessions on policy, design, and innovation, the conference highlighted the importance of technology in creating more accessible communities for all generations.

Just last week, Steve joined Verizon’s ADA anniversary event at Civic Hall in New York City, celebrating 35 years of progress at the intersection of people and technology.

He joined CTA Foundation Trustee Sally Lange for a fireside chat on AgeTech and how innovation can help aging adults live more independently.
The program also featured a keynote by disability activist Anastasia Somoza, who shared her experience as a member of the ADA generation and the role of technology in shaping futures.

We’re proud to keep showing up in spaces that drive forward accessibility and aging tech and look forward to what’s ahead. Let us know if you will be at upcoming events, we’d love to meet with you there.

CTA Foundation’s 13th Anniversary: Matching Gifts Now Open

This month is the CTA Foundation’s 13^th anniversary, and our wish list is to create a more accessible world for all – but especially for older adults and people with disabilities.

We can’t do that without your generosity.

Your tax-deductible, charitable gift today will help us convene diverse stakeholders, encourage innovators, and fund novel ideas that solve aging and accessibility challenges. And our board member, Eric Hsia, is matching gifts, $1 for $1, up to $2500.

Give today!

Aspire Artemis Foundation Hosts Global STE(A)M Conference at United Nations House in Barbados

https://www.aspireartemis.org/

Bridgetown, Barbados — On Friday, May 9, 2025, the Aspire Artemis Foundation, in partnership with local and international stakeholders, will host its next installment of Conversations in STEAM at the United Nations House in Barbados. This highly anticipated event, themed “Inspiring, Engaging and Educating – Conversations in STE(A)M: Health, Climate and the Role of AI,” is dedicated to advancing education, innovation, and leadership through Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics.

The event comes at a critical time, following a recent UNCTAD report revealing that 118 countries—predominantly from the Global South—are excluded from global discussions around artificial intelligence. Conversations in STEAM: Barbados aims to bridge this divide, connecting youth and underrepresented communities with STEAM leaders, AI innovators, and policymakers shaping the future.

Hosted at the prestigious United Nations House, the event will feature a series of compelling conversations that spotlight the evolving role of STE(A)M in advancing female leadership in technology and innovation. Speakers will include leading innovators from across the Caribbean, high-level representatives from the United Nations, the Commonwealth Secretariat, regional governments, and private sector pioneers. These discussions will explore ways to demystify artificial intelligence, shift mindsets, and create equitable pipelines of opportunity for all.

Barbados: A Model for Sustainable Innovation

Barbados was selected as the host for its unique blend of innovation, political stability, and global leadership in climate action. As Chair of CARICOM and CVF-V20, and a vocal advocate for the Bridgetown Initiative, Barbados embodies the collaborative spirit essential for tackling today’s greatest challenges. With a high literacy rate, a skilled workforce, and a longstanding commitment to women’s empowerment, Barbados is both an inspiring and strategic partner for this initiative.

“We are honored to host this year’s Conversations in STEAM in Barbados,” said Hermina Johnny, Executive Director of the Aspire Artemis Foundation. “This gathering will empower youth, especially young women, by connecting them with trailblazers whose lived experiences and creative insights are actively reshaping the global STEAM landscape.”

The Aspire Artemis has collaborated with a multitude of impactful organizationsincluding the United Nations, the Equals Global Coalition, The UNESCO Global Education Coalition, Global Citizen, PVBLIC Foundation and others to bring this first of its kind, groundbreaking and transformative event to the Caribbean.

Among the featured voices renowned Award-winning Ghanaian Lebanese Actor Miss Juliet Ibrahim, along Ministers of Government, Sarah, Duchess of York, as well as Her Excellency, Senator the Honourable Elizabeth Thompson, a champion for climate resilience and one of the region’s most influential female leaders. She will be joined by a roster of speakers whose work spans theoretical physics, AI policy, sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and creative arts.

The event is free and open to the public, with registration available via Eventbrite. It will run from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM AST.

About Aspire Artemis Foundation

The Aspire Artemis Foundation is a global non-profit committed to expanding equitable access to education and innovation in underserved communities through dynamic programming in STEAM, leadership development, and youth empowerment.
