About the program
In-School or Virtual Character-Building Learning Experience
The program will promote social, intercultural, and civic competencies.
It inspires tolerant attitudes, cooperative and collaborative behaviors, compassion, and encourages community contributions.
Inspired by ordinary heroes who created a life-changing outcome for thousands of humans in need, we offer a unique character-building learning experience with clear examples of courageous moral advocacy in the face of systemic injustice.
The in-school or virtual exploration consists of a teacher briefing and 3 x 45-min sessions.
The exploration is always tailored to fit your schedule. We can deliver the program in one day or multiple visits.
Each student will get a workbook [guided journal].
