Period Poverty Part 1 - Beijing

On this episode, I meet a HS student from BCIS in Beijing named Anna who is an inspiring young changemaker. Anna is very passionate about gender equality and is doing some amazing work in the area of sexual education, consent and period poverty in both her home community of Beijing as well as in other parts of rural China. Here project is called Girl Up. Join me to learn how she became passionate about this issue that she cares about, how she became more deeply aware of this need in her local community and how she is using her skills and knowledge to take action and have an impact. Both the scope of her work as well as the different issues that she is able to address and connect are truly impressive. Also, please stay tuned for our next episode, Period Poverty Part 2 - Uganda, where I reconnect with Nantume about her work on this issue in her local community.

What is Empathy to Impact: Student Voices on Global Citizenship Education & Community Engagement?

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.
