These young global citizens share an interest in service through the lens of unity, collaboration and humanitarianism. Listen to our conversation to hear about the multitude of options for students at NIST to engage in meaningful, impactful, and sustainable service through collaboration with diverse community partners in Thailand. We talk about the current projects and aspirations of the service clubs that they are personally involved with, as well as how they have developed as leaders through their work with their clubs and ServiceCo, a student-led organization within the school, who, among their many responsibilities, coordinate and offer leadership and oversight to the many initiatives happening across the school. How might we work together to create a culture of service within our own schools and empower students to take action for a more just equitable, joyful, and sustainable future?  Listen and be inspired.

It was so amazing to meet Aya from the International School of Kigali in Rwanda and learn about her passion for mindful service and how it connects to intercultural competency. Her 4 pillars of mindful service would be a great starting point for any school designing a service learning program, or evaluating the impact of their partnerships. How might we engage as listeners, connect with communities from a place of equality, build relationships, establish trust and collaboratively design actions that have positive impact and develop reciprocal partnerships? Listen to find out.

Dominique, Alithza & Martin are 3rd grade students at COJOWA in Cartagena, Colombia. In a recent unit, combining Spanish and Sociales, students collaborated and learned from local farmers at Granitos de Paz.  This reciprocal partnership involved students learning about what foods are growing locally in their community from the farmers and creating a system for members of their community to purchase directly from the local farmers, rather than buying imported foods with a higher carbon footprint. Other experts from the community also visited the class as guest speakers. This service learning project is a great example of how students can work collaboratively with a community partner to both learn from that community partner, and make meaningful contributions to their work.
