Building a School Community That Cares: Why Social Impact Matters

The Role of Schools in Shaping a Better Future

Education shapes individuals, strengthens communities, and drives social impact. Schools are more than learning spaces, they foster wellbeing, inclusivity, and growth. At Obelus Learning and Consultancy, we believe in education’s power to create positive change and are committed to helping schools prioritize academic excellence and social responsibility.

Social impact in education means:

  • Fostering Student Wellbeing: Programs like PASS and Bounce Together help schools assess students’ emotional health, addressing challenges like anxiety and disengagement to create a more supportive learning environment.
  • Building Character & Resilience: Amazing People Schools inspire students through stories of resilience and leadership, encouraging personal growth and empathy.
  • Enhancing Inclusivity & Engagement: Tools like BOOKR Class and Twin Science make learning more engaging and accessible, integrating storytelling and STEAM education with real-world challenges.
  • Supporting Educators: Obelus empowers teachers with training programs, including TEFL and pedagogy courses, to foster dynamic and inclusive classrooms.

Encouraging Creativity and Social Connection with yOOusers

Beyond digital tools and curriculum-based solutions, fostering hands-on creativity plays a crucial role in building a positive school community. yOOusers, an edutainment startup specializing in Origami and Quilling-based edutainment kits and toys, promotes creativity, mindfulness, and hands-on learning for both kids and adults. Engaging in arts and crafts activities has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus, and encourage social interaction; key factors in student wellbeing. By integrating yOOusers’ innovative products into classrooms and wellbeing initiatives, schools can offer students a creative outlet that enhances emotional regulation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. This hands-on approach to learning aligns with Obelus’ mission to create engaging, inclusive, and supportive educational environments.

The Future of Education: A Commitment to Wellbeing and Social Impact

The schools of the future will not only focus on grades but on the holistic development of students. By prioritizing social impact, schools can cultivate a generation of individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, resilient, and ready to make a difference in the world.

At Obelus, we are committed to supporting schools in this journey. Whether through innovative learning platforms, wellbeing assessments, or teacher training, our mission is to create a world where every student has the opportunity to succeed; academically, emotionally, and socially.
