  3. Project Preamble This special project for Grade 4 students (ages 9-10) has been developed by Beaconhouse, an organizational partner of Global Dignity Day (GDD). Beaconhouse educates 215,000 students in nearly 800 schools in 9 countries. GDD was cofounded by HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Professor Pekka Himanan and John Hope Bryant and is expected to be celebrated in 50 countries in 2012.

  4. Rationale The source of inspiration for this project has been derived from the philosophy behind GDD: that it is the universal right of every human being to lead a dignified life. This project has been envisaged to embed the concept of dignity in the school curricula. It is another step in the ongoing quest to bring students from around the world together to engage in meaningful dialogue on the key principles of dignity. This will also help students to appreciate and celebrate small everyday acts that contribute to global dignity.

  5. Aim The aim of the project is to develop an awareness of dignity, promote dignity-centred leadership and engage primary school students across the world in global dialogue on the meaning and importance of dignity.
