 A reminder for long-standing members!
Basic principles about our e2030 community
We are ….
▪a Global community. Let’s respect different views & perspectives of other
countries and cultures. We are here for dialogue, not to debate.

▪an Inclusive community. Let’s speak slowly and clearly, for non-native
speakers, speakers of sign languages, etc. Let’s walk our talk – embrace and
celebrate diversity. Let’s put ‘universal design of learning’ in action!
▪a Working group. None of us are consumers of our meetings; everyone
contributes! We empower each other!

▪a future-oriented community. Let’s be bold together to question ‘status quo’,

and we create together new knowledge, new vision, new direction of
commitment for global and local action.

MVP
 Framework / Guidelines of the Project

▪ Can be multidisciplinary / interdisciplinary

▪ MVPs ideally have concrete specifics that are feasible/manageable and that can
make a real-world impact
▪ Partner schools dealing with a similar problem/challenge question
▪ can come up with one (or more) common MVP, or
▪ Individual schools/teams from different countries may create own deliverables
customised to the needs of its own context (school/community /country)
▪ Would be helpful if the problem/opportunity to be addressed and MVP created
can be anchored to meeting the needs of a specific:
▪ target group in school/ community
▪ target agency within the school or community

 Exploratory School Well-being Questions for Dialogue

• What makes you curious about your learning & well-being at

school?

• What kinds of products or activities can you create to enhance

your learning & well-being at school?

• Who can help you to achieve your aspirations?

 Exploratory School Well-being Questions for Dialogue
For today - Let’s take one of the well-being indicators – ‘housing’, as
an example. What if we consider school as a place like ‘home’,
where students can grow and learn healthily and happily?

• What kinds of physical environments make students feel safe and

happy?

• How about social and emotional environments?
