The Courage of Children: Boston and Beyond XXXIII

COURAGE AROUND THE GLOBE
The Max Warburg Courage Curriculum began working with international
partners in 2007 in response to a growing interest in implementing its
accessible, proven curriculum in other countries. To date, the program has
been taught in 16 countries, including El Salvador, Pakistan, India, Lebanon,
Thailand, and China. This list continues to grow as our organization forms
partnerships with schools and learning communities across the globe to
engage students in the reading and writing process, while empowering them
to discover, recognize, and celebrate the courage in their lives.
The essays featured in this section were written by students participating in
our international programs. They represent the universal nature of courage
and support our conviction that all people have the capacity to be courageous.
This year, we are honored to continue our partnerships with The Cambridge
Cambodia School, Mawr Volunteers in Yemen, the Personal Development
Institute of Mongolia, The American School of Barcelona, and Hisar Schools
in Turkey. We are grateful to each of these partners for their compassionate
work with teachers and students in their respective countries and for sharing
in the vision of The Max Warburg Courage Curriculum.
Recognizing that the stories of courage from children across the globe enrich
the educational experience for all students, we seek to continue sharing our
materials and offering educational opportunities for children outside of
Boston. For more information about The Max Warburg Courage Curriculum
and our programs, please visit www.maxcourage.org.
