Learning Workshops: Engagement and Empowerment in Service & Sustainability

Friday February 14, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am GMT+08

‘This is a student-led initiative’: What does it actually take to realise this in an impactful, safe, and collaborative manner? Meaningful and thoughtful initiatives often involve the collaboration between students, educators, operational staff, parents, and other stakeholders in our school community and beyond. Given this diversity, to what extent does the shared knowledge and understanding on effective collaboration protocols exist amongst all parties? This session will discuss the fundamentals of such protocols, and engage the participants to explore how the mindsets, habits, and ethical considerations required to develop them can be taught and mentored in co-curricular activities in Service and Sustainability. Participants will be sharing their own experiences and questions, and a desired outcome is to create the vision and possible prototypes of S&S protocols that can successfully engage and empower students, educators, and others to implement their initiatives. Presenters will share their experience with the conception and organization of the 1st S&S Youth Summit at ISKL this past September. We will present an overview of the process.
