Nearly every international school talks about developing global citizens. But how many are actually giving students the skills and opportunities to make a difference?
In this episode of Education Vanguard, Justin Hardman sits down with Aaron Moniz and Scott Jamieson from Inspire Citizens to explore what it takes to move global citizenship beyond mission statements and into meaningful action.
They discuss the Empathy to Impact framework, why lasting school transformation requires more than one-off professional development, and how schools can help students develop the confidence and skills to become genuine leaders and change-makers.
The conversation also explores the challenges of building a mission-driven organization, the importance of sustainable leadership, and why sometimes the best thing school leaders can do is say no to good ideas.
Plus, Aaron and Scott share their excitement for the upcoming AIFE Student Leadership Conference in Bangkok, where AI, student leadership, and collaboration will come together.
In this episode, we explore: - Why global citizenship needs to be more than a school mission statement - Turning empathy and awareness into meaningful student action - Building sustainable, whole-school approaches to global citizenship - Why student leadership requires intentional skills development - The importance of doing fewer things well - Helping students navigate AI while developing their leadership potential
