A Turtle to Brighten the Day: Thinking Local With Community Partnerships

LISTEN NOW

On this episode of Empathy to Impact, host Scott Jamieson meets up with Gene, Anya, Kyra, and PamPam, high school students and community artists from Shrewsbury International School in Bangkok, Thailand. They talk about a project that they chose to be involved in that connected to their changemaker superpowers and addressed an authentic need of one of their local community partners, Mercy Center Kindergarten. Through this long-term partnership, they were able to collaboratively identify a challenge and work together to transform the school playground by taking a plain wall and painting it with a bright, vibrant mural. This mural continues to uplift the community and has had a positive impact on everyone who uses the playground.
