Education
The changing global context requires education to develop people as critical thinkers, minds that are able to question and find answers independently. Young people need to be equipped to perform highly-specialised and multi-skilled jobs, while at the same time being flexible to follow multiple careers in one lifetime. This will require a decisive shift in the way education is provided and a commitment to ensure access to quality education, providing students with the opportunity and support to discover their unique skills and achieve their full potential.
Partners
Druk White Lotus runs an active cooperation program in order to mobilise the best people and resources from within Ladakh, the rest of India and internationally. We work with educational institutions (notably from the UK and the USA), corporate partners, individual experts and volunteers. Participants from many countries bring their knowledge, experience and material resources that add value to the life of the school and the students.
Design
Druk White Lotus aims to ‘walk-the-talk’ as a sustainable community, located in Ladakh’s high-altitude desert environment. The planning and design of the campus and its buildings combine local knowledge and materials with “simple-smart” technology. Design excellence has been recognised through various international awards, most recently in 2009 by an award for ‘Inspiring Design’ from the British Council of School Environments and a ‘Design for Asia Grand Award’, presented in Hong Kong.read
