How can your school make a better world? I have one idea!

Today, Swedish students have made a very good thing for the world.

Coordinated by the Swedish central student association, 80 000 students got from their schools to raise money for a good cause. Most of the students worked for one day in a local company, and the salary of the work went to a development project in Albania.

I just love this idea, the student got a chance to present themselves for companies, the companies got a helping hand for one day and the project in Albania gets around 600 000 dollars. It’s also a very good chance to show the world to the students and maybe get them more active in the fight for the world.

This is education, development and networking at the same time as they do something for the world.

I want this idea to spread, I know that Germany are working with it as well, and now I really want it to be an annually event in every country where it’s possible. I have a lot of ideas how we can make this work.

If you are interested to take this to your country, please contact me so we can start our work.
