#ASWforUkraine: How an International School's Response to a Crisis Led to the Development of an NGO
3:10 PM - 4:10 PM UK Time
Speaker(s): Michael Teskey, Director of Advancement, American School of Warsaw, Ligita Miele, Service Learning Coordinator, American School of Warsaw
The American School of Warsaw's response to the refugee crisis stemming from the war in Ukraine has led it to develop an innovative, integrated approach to how international K-12 schools engage in and support service learning. The school's #ASWforUkraine effort has raised more than $390,000 to support Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw and beyond. The students have been effective in every aspect of our relief efforts, so the school has decided to create an NGO that is dedicated to student-led service and to teach students how to develop programs, fundraise for them, and deliver the services.
