World Science Movement
The world is currently facing a multitude of crises, from climate change and environmental degradation to social inequality and economic instability. These complex global issues threaten our future and demand urgent attention. At this critical turning point, the next generation holds the potential to change the course and guide the world towards a better, more sustainable path.
Education rooted in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) methodology, combined with a focus on social responsibility and purpose, is essential in equipping the next generation with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing, modern world. This comprehensive educational approach not only prepares students with 21st-century skills but also inspires them to proactively tackle the most pressing issues humanity faces.
By integrating advanced technology and scientific knowledge with a strong foundation in social and environmental responsibility, we can empower young minds to become innovative problem solvers and compassionate leaders. Education for social responsibility emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the social, environmental, and economic impacts of our actions. It encourages students to think critically about their role in the world and motivates them to contribute positively to their communities and the planet.

How does it work?
Target group is 6-14 year-old children from underserved areas.
The latest technology STEM kits are delivered to the schools that need them most with excellent SDG-based curriculum and teaching materials aligned to support authentic and hands-on learning standards.
If the schools have internet and access to an Edu-tech app which support the curriculum with STEAM+A challenges, short lessons with interactive videos are given.
Teachers or volunteers are trained and supported to be able to execute the programme.
Impact
97% of the teachers state that YGA science curriculum positively affects their students’ academic success.
On top of creating the curiosity and the courage to create know-how with STEM skills, teachers also state that it helps the ‘future skills’ of children such as;
- Problem-solving & critical thinking to understand and question the global-scale problems
- A sense of social responsibility to care about these problems in the first place
- Creative thinking to generate solutions and innovations to these problems
- Self-confidence & growth-mindset to tackle these problems with a hopeful attitude
“STEM Kits allow all levels of teaching to take place – from basics to advanced. WSM is a well-developed, fun and informative programme.”
