The International Challenge Day program was designed to help build connection and empathy among students by breaking down barriers that separate them, while promoting understanding, acceptance and respect.
While we received very positive feedback about the workshop days, the program serves a larger purpose, in extending the teachings of those workshops into our every day lives at our schools as part of the "Be the Change" movement.
As part of Challenge Days, students made the commitment to "Be the Change," a clear and positive affirmation that in order to change the world around us, we need to "walk the walk." Students pledged to perform at least one intentional, positive act of "change" per day, serving as inspiration, inclusion and support to those around them.
