This initiative derives from a longer and more comprehensive partnership with the well-established international school in the heart of Bangkok, the New International School of Thailand (NIST). The new center exemplifies the strong ties JUMP! is building with international schools all around the world and is a step towards JUMP! becoming an on-campus global resource for experiential learning. Partnering with an international school such as NIST means JUMP! will gain a more profound and defined relationship and understanding of its pupils and educators which ultimately gives JUMP! more room and space to innovate and reform itself.
Besides being a center of resources and guidance, the JUMP! Global Leadership Center will host a range of Professional Development Trainings for educators, facilitators, and social entrepreneurs which include the following:
-
School Professional Development Training
-
Facilitator Training: Become a Facilitator
-
Innovation Education Lunch: gathering and discussion on innovative education practices and ways to inspire, empower and engage youth
JUMP! Global Leadership Center will also host JUMP! Programs for students including :
-
