PROJECT BELONGING PROGRAM
The Project Belonging Program starts with five hours of training on Educational Displacement.
Then, program participants turn what they have learned into action by implementing an initiative to promote belonging in their schools or communities.
5-HOUR ONLINE TRAINING
The five-hour asynchronous training introduces students to the core concepts of Educational Displacement. Students will learn about the importance of belonging and resilience in school settings and discuss how to build bridges between and within communities.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Following the training, each student team will receive a $1000 stipend to implement local initiatives that foster empathy, connection, and belonging. After completing the program, students will receive a signed certificate from Teachers College, Columbia University.
Throughout the program, students may complete surveys and have the opportunity to participate in focus groups or interviews about their experiences. Students may also share their successes and progress through the Teachers College, Columbia University Belonging website, social channels, or podcast.
The Project Belonging Program requires schools to have a supervising teacher responsible for organizing logistics and communicating between school teams and Teachers College, Project Belonging staff. For more information on the role of a supervising teacher, see our FAQs page here.
