21. Rationale
• In essence:
– One World School is a non-denominational, non-sectarian
and non-political enterprise.
– The OWS offering is a short but immersive and humane
educational experience designed to stay with young
people for the rest of their lives.
– And one that also enables them to form cross-religious,
cross-racial and cross-cultural friendships that form the
basis of an international network for doing good works.

22. Our objectives are:
• To emphasise the shared origin of all faiths, the unity of all peoples
and the universality of truly humane values;
• Provide an immersive educational experience which enables its
participants to:
– become aware of their own world view,
– to develop compassion, empathy, and understanding through
encountering other world views and other human situations,
– overcome stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination,
– gain insight into the causes of conflict at a variety of levels from
interpersonal to international,
– decide what values are important to them and consider how to take
constructive action in their own lives based on those values;

23. And to: [objectives continued]
• Provide young leaders with enduring cross-cultural
friendships and the inspiration to collaborate to do good
works;
• Equip graduates with knowledge, alumni networks and an
online platform to facilitate such efforts on an international
scale and into the future; and,
• Be an example of intelligent or conscious capitalism: that is,
a commercial enterprise which has measurable human and
social outcomes, which benefits the community in which it
is located and which also provides an attractive financial
return on investment to its shareholders.

24. Future Extensions . . .
• Kalimantan should only be the first! One World
School campuses should be established in other
suitable locations (such as Africa, South America,
Northern Australia) and should work together.
• As it evolves OWS should work with NGO’s to
develop and provide comprehensive ‘gap year’
programs in Kalimantan and other countries for
pre-university young people

25. Currently we are . . .
• Developing a business plan.
• Investigating sites suitable for a campus in
or near the rainforest.
• Speaking with NGOs and with villages in
Kalimantan (as potential partners).

26. We are seeking:
• Investors, preferably also long term strategic
partners, to help us progress.
• Collaborators – people and organisations who
can contribute to management, marketing,
program development and also delivery.
• Schools from around the world who would like to
participate.
