Future Friendly Schools - Student Voice
What makes a Future Friendly School? Through this participatory process, you will help to identify and prioritize the most relevant indicators for certification across our three focus areas of environmental stewardship, student voice, and global citizenship. We appreciate your participation and look forward to your insights! This page is for voting, commenting on, and suggesting new indicators in the area of student voice. You can switch to the other certification indicators through the links in the header. If you’re interested in partnership or participating as a founding school in the program, contact us at education@takingitglobal.org!

Giving youth the freedom to think and analyse things in their own way and helping wid the right material to come out of the right thoughts.
If we allow them to put their free thoughts out and then help them with generalized and unbiased thoughts to take the right decisions then we can create more global kind of environment. We can help them to see things without any boundary of language or region or religion. Teach them to value human being not the color or language. This can happen if we involve students from different sections in some group and creative activities.

Students are allowed to study that which is interesting to THEM.
As an example - if a child is interested in bicycle racing he could:
- Learn about speed, distance, and acceleration (math)
- Learn about aerodynamics and friction (science)
- Study the diets and training plans of elite cyclists (physical/health ed)
- Examine the cultural impact of events like the Tour de France (social studies)
- Produce a final report/read bicycling opinions and op-eds (English)
- Read reports on races in foreign languages (French as a second language)In this way the child exists squarely out of the box - there are no subject-imposed boundaries to his learning.
