And a Purple Elephant was born…

Our schools proudly identify with this unique and delightful pachyderm represented by an image created by Per Jonsson from Sweden when a child living in Bangkok during the eighties. Per still visits Thailand, and we delight in his visits, if only to meet once again the most famous purple pachyderm in the world! A nod and a wai to you Per for creating this endearing image that has meant so much to so many young children who grace her company every day.

Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children
On UN Earth Day this week, our Head of The City School, Dr. Lea, and our Y1-2 Project Coordinator, Ms. Sam, presented a webinar to the international educational and development community entitled ‘Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children’, with a participating audience of professionals from Bangladesh to Ethiopia, Nepal to the US. Hosted by the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood, and in collaboration with Save the Children, our educators showcased how ELC’s The City School is committed to empowering children to prepare for climate resilience and work for sustainable development, and how our Reggio Emilia approach to education cultivates those skills and character for our children to be world-changers.
