We believe students, educators, schools, and storytelling can and will shape a more sustainable, just, and joyful future through holistic global citizenship.
We believe in the power of education to evolve and contribute to a better world: Teaching and applied learning that develops compassion, connection, understanding, and action for the interdependent well-being of ourselves, our communities, and our planet.
We develop whole school systems for Global Citizenship Education, and we support administrators, educators, and other school stakeholders to implement these systems over long-term partnerships.
Our Mission
Enable administrators, educators, and students to reimagine the what, why, and how of education through global citizenship focused learning experiences that integrate mindful living, Empathy to Impact design, inner- and outer-sustainability, reciprocal service learning and community engagement, sustainability education and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Provide our global community with consistent on-the-ground evidence and demonstrations of holistic global citizenship through the voices and vignettes of diverse students and educators worldwide.
Empower school leaders with implementation systems, frameworks, progress monitoring tools, and accountability and coaching to live their missions of global citizenship.
