Amazing things are happening at the International School of Helsinki. On this episode Diana, Ankita, Erion & Philip, student leaders at ISH, join me to talk about a student equity group at their school. Students Together AgaiNst Discrimination (STAND) was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and started with the help and guidance of dedicated faculty members creating a space for students to engage with issues of social justice both in their own community and globally. These trusted adults in the school nurtured student leaders and allowed them to take on the leadership roles within this group and together they have positively impacted the culture of their school.
Empathy to Impact is a podcast designed for educators dedicated to global citizenship education. We explore themes of sustainability, service learning, student leadership, and community engagement, empowering students to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future.
While educators grasp the “why” and “what” of global citizenship, this podcast delves into the “how”. Through engaging storytelling and student voices, we provide authentic connections to curriculum, and showcase practical tools and frameworks that you can implement in your classroom.
By viewing learning experiences through the lens of Empathy to Impact, we can inspire students to take meaningful steps toward becoming global citizens and transform the culture of education in our schools.
Join us as we amplify the voices and stories of students who take ownership of their learning and make a difference in their communities.
