From the humanitarian projects of our Champittet Foundation to our collaboration with UNICEF, we believe in developing social values and a global outlook among our learners. In this spirit, we’re proud to share that four student members of our Philanthropy Club travelled to Houston, Texas (USA) to represent Collège Champittet at the 2025 Nord Anglia Education Student Summit.
Bringing together over 160 students from 54 NAE schools worldwide, this annual summit gives young leaders in Grades 10 to 12 a unique opportunity to share perspectives, collaborate and innovate as they propose solutions to support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event forms part of NAE’s ongoing collaboration with UNICEF.
Held from June 21st to 28th, this year’s Summit focused on the theme of leadership. Our student leaders were hosted by our sister schools The Village School and the British International School of Houston, where they spent an eye-opening week discovering how to drive impactful change and make a difference in their communities and society at large.
During the Summit, our students engaged in on-the-ground activism as well as projects to tackle global challenges. Participants exchanged ideas while building transferable skills for the future.
One of the experiences included volunteering at a food bank in Houston, enabling students to see firsthand the local community impact of this work. Our international participants also gave “peer talks” to share the social impact projects they lead in their own communities, opening doors to a global perspective on initiatives to promote sustainability, address climate change and ensure social equality.
In workshops led by UNICEF and other SDG experts, our students learned how to develop advocacy and leadership skills to initiate change in their communities. Then, they worked together to create solutions to a wide range of real-world challenges. As part of this capstone project, team members collaborated to respond to UNICEF’s “problem statements” in areas like nutrition, education and health. How can public trust and confidence in vaccines be improved in an age of misinformation? What can be done to improve equitable access to quality online learning? Can data be collected and used in a more effective way to prevent obesity among children?
Our students returned from the Summit inspired and energised, and ready to apply what they’ve learned. Let’s all keep striving to build a better world together!
Summer is finally here, along with our eagerly awaited Champittet Leadership Camp! We have a phenomenal team of counsellors ready to bring our campers the summer of a lifetime – full of energy, adventure, humour and discovery.
