This stage is achieved rather naturally as all students and teachers continously get to experience and enjoy the uplifting virtuous activities organized by Changemaker Club Warriors.

The main point is to create a grid to harmoniously integrate these activities into the school year’s calendar. It is not complicated.

Further, at this stage, the new relations with inspired parents and partners begin to florish and get formalized.

THERE ARE 2 MORE LEVELS BEYOND THIS

that we will unveil later. Obviously 100% of classes, 100% of teachers, 50 UN Days, Omnicultural Festivities, Project Weeks make a fully Enlightened 22nd Century School. an activated school will naturally trend towards this level.

You can tell that achieving the rank of Budding Miracle is simple (view below). Frankly, it is the least that schools must provide today, and the best that ever happened in your town to-date. Everything else is bonus!

Advanced ranks serve to inspire you and your vision what is possible for the future of our societies when we activate all schools to empower all youth to grow up as the Change Generation. Do not get intimidated. Silver and Gold are very realistic for schools with caring students and teachers!

We see North American schools move mountains

because the kids & teachers are used to dream big!

The time of schools doing only theory or tiny stuff is over! It is boring, fails The Purpose Of Schooling and erodes our future! Follow the world’s brightest examples, and make changemaking part of daily life at school and learning culture. Nothing less will do!

And keep in mind : your example will inspire 1,000s with hope and to get active! 

How high do you aim?

You see, we believe in you, because we see your peers and colleagues do this, every day.

And they started alone, by themselves, without tools, tricks and partners. This means that you can aim even higher than them. These are exciting times. These are also critical times, and x-mas cookie sales, painting recycling bins or counting CO2 bubbles won’t cut it, dear friends and adults. Level up!

This is the time to step into your responsibility and unfold your true powers, since, once again, KIDS ARE DOING THIS, and you know that when our entire young generation ACTS LIKE THIS, the future will be fine. 

 

Teachers are our young generation’s most important allies. They decide whether we can grow up learning to create a good world for all, or not.

Craig Kielburger, WE

What an exciting time to be alive. We are the generation that can change everything for the better.
