Havergal joined as a Global Member of Round Square in 2023, plugging us in to a network of over 250 schools in over 50 countries. Round Square offers many different global learning experiences, from regional conference to international conferences, to Zoom "PostCards," and professional development for educators.
Round Square philosophy speaks to the importance of human connection and collaboration, global cooperation, and I.D.E.A.L.S.:
Internationalism
Democracy
Environmentalism
Adventure
Leadership
Service
Every student learning experience will delve into one or more of the I.D.E.A.L.S.
Each year students are invited to apply to the Round Square International Conference as well as smaller, regional conferences. Check out the full GLE Calendar for 26-27.
Students spent three days in a carousel including Service, Environmental and Adventure activities. Each day began with a Keynote and Baraza discussion at one of the host schools before heading out to an activity.
On Service Day GEMS Modern Academy hosted a programme of activities in which conference delegates plannd and led activities working with differently abled students. On Adventure Day, The Indian High School hosted us at an Adventure Park where delegates took on team challenges, zip wires and high ropes. On Environmental Day, The Millennium School explored opportunities to take delegates out into the environment beyond the dunes to connect with nature, and consider some of the environmental challenges faced in a desert environment. In the evenings of the carousel, activities will include a barbeque, a Round Square Souk and a cultural performance opportunity.
