*“The time has come to take concrete steps to bring about a real
transformation in the ways we educate our future generations. We need to
combine both an education of the mind with an education of the heart so
that our children grow up as responsible, caring citizens equipped to meet
the challenges of today's increasingly globalized world.”*

Dalai Lama
