Spending two incredible days with the Elementary and Secondary students at Verbier International School was incredible! π
Working with our youngest learners in Elementary was so special. It brought me right back to when I started this journey at age 11.
We talked about true global citizenship and student agency, not as textbook concepts, but as real action. Together, we brainstormed how they can transform their school community by replacing single-use coffee cups with 100% reusable mugs for parents, teachers, and secondary students, with the dream of taking that impact right out into Verbier!
Sharing my journey through the films my mother and filmmaker, Karin Ecker, has captured since I was a child, from sea turtles and the Great Barrier Reef to the Danube River, reminded me why we do this.
True agency starts from within.
Seeing those elementary students spark with brilliant ideas showed me that you are never too young to lead the change. ππ
