Testimonials from Our Clients
Dulwich College International
Our motto at Dulwich is ‘Graduate Worldwise’. Service isn’t really best learnt from a book or watching a video, it needs time, thought, reflection and practice. Be The Change provides a connected learning experience to firstly establish essential mindsets and attitudes towards service and then, a wonderfully curated progression of service approaches, behaviours and best practices developed over time. A wide number of our schools have taken on the BTC program and it has greatly enhanced our efforts of personal contributions to effective service in the collective context of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Green School Bali
Green School Bali prides itself on its service learning programs. Yet we’ve noticed that they often fall short of our intended goals. We began using the Be The Change program in the high school. Students who have taken the course feel more empowered, and more knowledgeable about what a true service program should accomplish. Be The Change has given them the tools they need to put together truly meaningful and impactful programs, on their own. They have become the experts. I’ve been so impressed with how students have responded that I’ve recommended that Be The Change become a required course for all Green School Bali high school students.

The Be The Change course provided an eye-opening learning experience for my students and a refreshing professional development opportunity for myself. The course is thoughtfully designed, user friendly, and informative while manageable for students to complete along with their other responsibilities.The support and consultancy provided by Orenda Learning was very helpful in setting up the program for students and in discussing how to use the material to build upon my Service Learning program. Following completion of the course, my students feel empowered to apply their skills to personal development as well as their Service Learning projects.

American School of Dubai
We have had the pleasure of working with Orenda Learning as a provider of the Be the Change course for our high school student organisation leaders. The participation in the course is growing due to student demand as we are finding it an extremely versatile option in developing the necessary action-oriented leadership capacity of our students. We love that the course can be taken in its entirety or in parts to support the needs of the program (guided by the teacher facilitator). The added benefit of the independent participation option for students is extremely helpful for those students looking to develop their understanding of making change and becoming the agents of change we all hope them to be. We love the opportunity for participants to contextualise the content for their needs! The toolkit alone is a treasure trove of great resources for student leaders looking to engage their organisations with action. Handy, easy-to-use yet powerful thinking and planning tools they have been well received by our students. The Be the Change course format allows both teachers and students the chance to engage deeply with the topics covered and provides a wealth of resources for our student leaders to use in their meetings, planning, etc.
