Hi, I am Ted. I am a student changemaker at Frankfurt International School (FIS). I have been part of the FIS Changemaker program since the beginning (November 2020) where a group of students, participated in the JUMP! training to work on their leadership skills. We learned many new skills, which we decided to use to create change in our school and beyond. From then on, we were the FIS changemakers. Initially, it was only me and a group of about 10 dedicated students (and some very helpful teachers) which has now grown to many hundreds! We, realized that we need to go beyond academics and think about community engagement, global understanding and a toolbox for reasonable, feasible and sustainable change. We had to create changemakers, starting at a young age, that could cope with the problems the future generations will face. To achieve this, our first major action was the changemaker conference, action packed with speeches and workshops, one of which, was my Donut Economics Workshop.
