Our Educational Approach

Six Priorities That Guide Our Teaching

Some of these priorities are established practice in our classrooms today; others are developing ambitions we are actively building towards. We believe in being clear about which is which.

1Existing practice

Trauma-Informed and Inclusive Education

Our volunteer educators create welcoming, predictable and supportive online learning spaces for people affected by war and displacement. This is an educational approach, not clinical trauma treatment — we do not provide therapy or clinical services.

2Existing practice

Global Citizenship and Peace Education

Learners and educators from many countries meet, share perspectives and build understanding across borders — practising the everyday peace-building that education makes possible.

3Developing priority

Education for Sustainable Futures

We are developing learning themes that help young people think about sustainable, hopeful futures for their own communities.

4Developing priority — active pilot

Youth Leadership and Shared Generosity

Through our Learners to Leaders pilot, young people discover their strengths and design small generosity projects of their own.

5Developing priority

Future-Ready Skills and Creative Problem-Solving

We are growing opportunities for learners to build communication, collaboration, digital and creative problem-solving skills.

6Existing practice

Teacher Collaboration and Development

Our international volunteer educators share materials, methods and encouragement — and we are working towards more structured professional development.
