In 2015, Move The World’s founders Megan Taylor and Claire Hardy first visited the Dagara Music Centre in Medie, Ghana with a group of professional dancers from London. They embarked upon leading the first of 6 dance and development experiences focussed on artistic exchange, personal development, and volunteering.
Through their developing relationship with the community, and discussions with local stakeholders it was clear that the quality of education was not equipping young people with the skills to address the complex challenges they were going to face personally, locally and globally. The community asked for support and eager to help they initially ran one-off workshops and provided facilitation training to enable more effective and engaging teaching; students and teachers alike found it super valuable.
It was out of this that Move The World was born, and has since designed and developed it’s own global citizenship curriculum, partnering with schools, training local facilitators and supporting over 1000 children to learn, think and act more thoughtfully about the challenges they are facing.
