Declaration of International Citizenship

As an active member of the international community and as an ambassador of peace, I hereby declare to uphold the ideals of the World School set before me in the pursuit of knowledge and good faith.

Be open-minded

Practice kindness, sensitivity and compassion

Treasure a sense of wonder and curiosity

Be flexible

Show respect at all times towards other peoples' beliefs and traditions

Always assume a person knows something you do not

Learn to trust and be trusted

Understand that your way is not always the best or right way

Know and believe that all people are equal regardless of race, color, gender or religion

Speak in a language that can be understood by all those present, even if this is difficult for you to do so

To make yourself understood, practice speaking slowly and clearly

Look and listen with your heart and mind

Understand that we are the earth's guardiansm not its owners; therefore, be good caretakers
