Through providing real-world learning experiences from the local environment, and partnerships with the community, we empower the next generation with a holistic understanding of themselves, problem solving and conceptual thinking to navigate a changing world.
We nurture system thinking skills by exploring how to view complex issues through different frameworks, to recognise how various elements within a system are interconnected and to be sensitive to the circular nature of the world.
Nurture young changemakers to thrive and live in harmony with the world through a four-part series of transformative events to turn awareness into action. We delve into leadership, inner development, AI, sustainable finance and communication.

Education goes beyond academics. We encourage the exploration of passions, strengths, and values. We provide a safe and supportive environment for this journey, ensuring that it aligns with sustainable practicesfor us and our planet.
We champion well-researched learning approaches. Curiosity is nurtured and students take an active role in their education. We foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of core concepts
Education should be relevant and meaningful. Immersing students in real-world contexts builds deeper connections. By integrating local and global issues into our program curriculums we equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to address complex challenges and make a positive impact.
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We actively seek partnerships with local communities, organizations, and businesses to create a dynamic learning ecosystem. By connecting students with real-world experiences and experts, we bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing them for active engagement in the world around them.

Our programsMake The Change was founded with a clear mission: to revolutionize education and empower the next generation as empathetic problem solvers and changemakers. Recognizing the limitations of traditional education models, our founder, Diya Kanoria, a dedicated international high-school science teacher in Switzerland, embarked on a journey to create a new paradigm.
