Manifesto 25

Reclaim education with strategies for addressing modern challenges and driving systemic change.

The students are animatedly speaking, voting, and creating together—each holding a glowing object symbolizing their voice or agency.

Heart-shaped balloon floating in a cloudy sky

Schools must be havens of uncommon safety and extraordinary respect
