UNICEF Presentation
Bhutan's 1st National Education Day
Timeline- DFC Bhutan 2011
   
 
 

The Early Learning Centre (ELC) joined Design for Change in 2010 after a visit from Kiran Sethi. The staff and students were touched by the stories of change from around the world and were inspired by the simple process of feel, imagine, do, and share. The contest is wonderfully aligned with Bhutan’s concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and ELC’s belief in empowering students.

 

 Immediately, they knew that the children of their school and country deserved to weave their own stories of change and happily signed on as country partner. Last year, ELC infected 8 schools in Thimphu, Bhutan and is taking the contest outside of the country’s capital to more rural areas this year. So far, ELC and their 8 partner schools have shared their ideas of change with over 90 schools, government officials, and international organizations like UNICEF.
