Schools Ration Challenge - 18-20 June 2025

Building students' empathy - key to building a better future.

In these unprecedented times, the ability to empathise with others has never been so important.

In a world filled with injustices, the Schools Ration Challenge empowers students to take practical action and become advocates for change.

During this immersive learning experience, held during Refugee Week, students get sponsored to eat the same rations as a refugee in Jordan for three days.

This experience builds empathy for others – a quality that is key to viewing things from multiple perspectives and driving positive change.

Together, we can inspire a generation to act for peace in the world.

“It instils a sense of gratitude for the abundance of food and resources that many people take for granted, as well as a greater appreciation for the resilience and strength of refugees who endure difficult circumstances.
