Episode Summary
At the American School of Dhahran, an ISG school in Saudi Arabia, there is an initiative to develop compassion in the middle school. In collaboration with Ivy Yan from Inspire Citizens, students participated in workshops that focused on compassion for self, compassion for others and compassion for nature. From there, students collaborated in groups to design projects, within their school, based on compassion. The student-led initiative that we are focusing on in this episode is Flipping the Switch for a Better Day led by grade 8 students, Apoovra, Maazen, and Rishi. Listen to learn more.
