Our Values
Our Motivations
We are at a time of great change on our planet, nearing a tipping point where, as a collective human race, we need to make a significant positive shift in order to cope with global challenges and the uncertain future of humanity and the natural world.
The present climate sees a split in reality for the general populace. Those that ‘have’ can sometimes be preoccupied with the external, consumed with wants driven by mainstream society. Those that ‘have not’ often exist in a daily struggle to ensure that their basic needs are met.
As technology advances and becomes more embedded, many have lost the desire and ability to connect on a deep level with their surroundings – this includes human to human connection, and human to natural world.
Our young people have a natural ability to connect and lead their lives from their hearts rather than their minds. It is essential that the education system plays a role in fostering this quality in students, giving them the space and opportunity to develop sustained and productive relationships with their global community, and take informed action to work alongside that community to bring about positive change in the world around them.
