INITIATIVE

Details and eligibility

This award will recognise how a school initiative is supporting students in their development of ethical values which encourage them to think and act as global citizens.

Evidence should include how your initiative has gone beyond what the school should be delivering as an effective international school.

Your application must focus on one school initiative and address the following criteria:

  • How and why the initiative has resulted in the implementation of values across the school that nurture students as global citizens and/or critical thinkers

  • How and why the initiative has encouraged students to develop and articulate a clear grasp of how ethical perspectives and conventions can differ both within and between societies

  • Evidence of how the initiative has involved students in developing and owning ethical values

  • How the initiative has been developed as a long-lasting initiative for the school; one that can be improved and developed over time and could be sustainable through successive staff changes

  • Evidence of the strategies that are enabling this initiative to be shared with other schools (this could include links to details about this initiative on a public website, on public access YouTube video(s), through publicly accessible media, or details of community engagement, conference or workshop presentation)
