Students Speak: A Global Documentary Project

Students from our sister GCD school in Madagascar are launching a global, student-led documentary on the real issues young people face today—such as academic pressure, mental health, and IB-related stress. They are inviting three motivated students from each GCD school to join the international team and contribute through filming, interviewing, editing, or organizing. Together, these voices will form one powerful film reflecting the diverse realities of our generation.

If you are interested, please contact Ms Anna before Wednesday for more information.
