Read what the council members have to say:

“The compassionate systems have really changed how I think (…) It has become a habit to look below the surface and look deeper”
Caitlyn Limbert, British school of Jakarta

“Being four countries represented makes me think about other people that are not in my country or in my social group”
Zara Sattar, British school of Jakarta

“We don’t see the same things, but being a part of the project allows us to see things from a different perspective”
