Our Project
Developed by a team of educators and students in collaboration with Balanced Minds, our project offers knowledge and practical experiences that integrate the values of kindness, empathy and caring commitment to self and others into teaching and learning. The initiative empowers students to explore how the principles of compassion can be applied in the learning environment and in other aspects of life.
The Stories Behind Our Project
Mandy was shocked to get an unexpected grade for a written assignment that she has devoted much time and efforts for it. Feeling disappointed and distressed, she asked the teacher why her work was not given a higher grade. When meeting the teacher, Mandy cried in pain and said,
I have put ample efforts in it. Why am I not as excellent as my peers? I’m such a failure.
My ideas are no good. Maybe it’s better to keep silent.
