Our Manifesto

LEARNING WHAT MATTERS
We believe learning should be fun, spark creativity, and make us better citizens that are more responsible for ourselves, our fellow human beings, our society, and our planet. Social, emotional and ecological issues are closely connected and need to be approached in a more holistic manner.

BUSINESS FOR GOOD
We are working towards a future where businesses turn into forces-for-good to help solve major socio-environmental issues such as inequality, illiteracy, and ecological destruction. We aim to influence business leaders to make the changes and bring about these much-needed improvements.

A HEALTHY TOMORROW
Our actions today define our tomorrow. The health of people and the environment is intricately linked. The future should be about better quality products, conscious consumption, and the responsible disposal of waste, so that both the planet and its people can be healthy.
