The teaching team consists of

The kids are often hungry, and it seems now that the volunteer teachers are also hungry, since some of them have had their UN rations cut, since they "have been living in the camp too long". ( Jonathan has lived half his young life in the camp, where else should he go to please ? ) 

Surely teachers in this school should get some form of payment for their own food ( Jonathan is currently "without food" ) , and surely breakfast, jause, lunch and jause would help the kids study, especially if they have no food at home to go to, or no parents.

Sample budget for a school like this would be ???

600 kids at 200 dollars per year

120,000 dollars

Current school income is :-

xx per kid

total yy 

How to react ?

Proposal - Crowdfunding for 200 dollars per kid for teachers and educational materials for 2024-2025 school, with 2 meals per day ( estimated cost 500 dollars per month for 500 kids ?? ) 

Jonathan is studying for a xxxxx at the moment, and the school has recently managed to instal a wifi router for internet. They have no printer. Other supplies are severely limited ( list some ? )

44% of workers’ core skills are expected to change in the next five years, according to this year’s Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum. This means that there is a massive and growing need for up- and reskilling. No wonder that curiosity and lifelong learning are among the top 10 skills listed by World Economic Forum this year – and probably for the years to come.

We at Aalto University promote curiosity and thrive for lifelong learning and we are happy to solve competence development challenges together with organisations. Our lifewide learning portfolio includes many opportunities for organisations, such as microcredentials, in which learning focuses on short courses or study modules.

Inspiring story of a school in India!

The Circle India Team kicked off our mid-year stepback with a day immersed inside of the Yellow Train school. This innovative institution, sitting in the heart of Coimbatore, was built thirteen years ago. Their story is both inspiring and unique. They looked, first, to the story of Toto Chan - a Japanese educator who led a small group of students through the calamities of World War II. He converted an old train buggy where his students would study, every single day. And amidst the bombings and deaths, he created an oasis for students to learn, explore nature, read, and experience childhoods the best they possibly could.

As you walk through the halls of Yellow Train, you can feel that oasis. Students share this campus with more than 100 animals. They learn through the rigorous but empowering Waldorf Curriculum. They start every morning with music and movement. And student after student, through repeated interviews, spoke of one thing that defined their school: teachers who cared deeply about them and surrounded them with love.

What was most incredible was the alignment we saw between teachers and students.

Adults, every single morning, start their days by singing themselves. They hold spaces of affirmation to ground and hold each other, before spending the day holding children.

How different would our schools be if we all started off each day like that?
