The Global Local Project
“Somewhere in all of us is the power to change the world” – Roald Dahl
The Global Local Project is an innovative social justice program that creates leaders, change makers and young women and men who will influence positive changes in the world.
Using highly participatory and student led methodologies, the program empowers students to take action about issues they are passionate about. Students will explore the difference they can make in the world by connecting deeply with their core values, skills and strengths. And more importantly, learning how to feel them, live them and put them into action.
The Global Local Project creates a creative platform for students to:
- live life with greater purpose
- tap into core values, strengths and talents
- plan and achieve an inspiring social justice goal
- contribute to a fairer world
The Process will:
- create a heightened awareness of important world issues
- improve confidence and wellbeing
- encourage greater self awareness
- develop team work and leadership skills
