No way they're showing how partners feel about them; we should include more stories about how our school partners feel about us
We are not prescriptive, so we can help schools identify the ways they're already being global and fill in gaps

THEY bank on the idea that somewhere within their offering schools will find something they're looking for within their product/site
WE can help them find what they're looking for with global leaders

Our students are our future. They are passionate, capable, informed young people, ready to lead initiatives that support the essential skills of tomorrow - Global Citizenship.

From Malala Yousafzai to Greta Thunberg, we are increasingly seeing that young people are not only willing to take a stand and make a difference in the issues they feel are important, but they are capable of doing so.

Meg's Student Action Programs develop students' knowledge and skills to take action on issues of importance to them in the local to global community. Our programs prepare students to be active Global Citizens.

Students can participate in one of two formats:

One Day Forum

These are One Day Sprints for schools that prefer tackling issues in the format of a one day forum.

Sprint 1: Diversity and Inclusion Challenges students to find ways to support and promote diversity and inclusivity in their school community.

Sprint 2: Tech for Good Challenges students to find ways to use different tech platforms positively to impact their school community and beyond through selected issues.

From Grade 5 upwards.

More information

One Year Program

Focus is on students (Ambassadors) designing an action project to address an issue or problem in their school community which is implemented across the year and involves regular catch ups.

Skill development is scaffolded across the year
Ambassadors will initially explore and learn about core concepts linked to Global Citizenship to set their projects up for success e.g. The UN's SDGs, DEJI, and how to lead inclusively.

Project management skills are explored and developed including Digital Citizenship and Media Literacy.

We offer a Grade 5 & 6 cohort and a Grade 7-10 cohort.

Young Changemaker Education was developed to assist the increased demand of global educators wishing to provide transformative and participatory educational experiences that are rooted in student's own passions and interests. It aims to improve local and global communities in some way, big or small. Changemaker Education is a core part of Global Citizenship and Global Competence, and it is a fast growing area around the world, across different education sectors. Traditionally it has been an expectation that only tertiary or upper high school students are best equipped to do this work. However, as educational expectations shift towards these transformative and participatory approaches, a variety of student-centered pedagogies are being adopted, and it is becoming clear that Changemaker Education is possible from Early Years Education onwards, even in its most simplest forms.

This is a self paced Professional Development Course. The course is designed in a linear fashion, and content and materials can be accessed at any time. The course's key content is designed to take approximately five hours to complete. Additional materials are included in the Deep Dive sections at the end of the lessons. It is optional, designed for those wishing to take a deeper dive into specific areas of interest.

It contains four modules, each one containing lessons that contain videos, practical tips and resources that provide insights on what Changemaker Education is, why it is important and how to facilitate it.
At the end of the course, participants will be emailed a certificate of completion for the completed hours of Professional Development in Changemaker Education.
Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Show an understanding of what Changemaker Education is

2. Become more aware of why Changemaker Education is important in today's globalised world

3. Identify approaches to developing Changemakers that are appropriate for own context

4. Identify relevant resources that support developing Changemaker Education for own context

This course aligns to the following Professional Standards for Teachers and School Leaders in the following countries:
Australia: AITSL Teacher Standards: 2.6, 3.4, 3.6, 4.5, 6.2, 7.4

USA: National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Propositions 1, 3, 4 and 5.

NZ: The Code of Professional Responsibility, 1.1, 4.1, 4.3.

UK: Teacher Standards - Part One: Area 1, 5 and 8.
*All course certificates list the standards aligned to in full on the certificate
