Unlocking Change: Cultivating Resilience for Social Innovation- Within & Around

by OIS-GRG in blog June 7, 2025

As an educator and a leader, I have seen countless programs come and go, but very few have had the deep impact that CPX has created until now. As educators and leaders, our greatest responsibility lies not only in imparting academic knowledge but in shaping a generation, equipped with values and vision. In today’s complex world, students must be more than passive recipients of information. They must become thinkers, doers, and change makers. Character is the foremost and guides every decision. It starts by embedding values of empathy and integrity. When young minds recognise their roles in the community, their goals gain a higher purpose.

From the very first day, CPX brought a new energy into our school. Classrooms became idea labs buzzing with discussions, and teachers became mentors. Students who were once shy or unsure found their voice while working on causes like environmental awareness, empathy, and social responsibility.
What impressed me most was how CPX naturally nurtures values we deeply believe in -Character, empathy, teamwork, resilience, and social responsibility. It encourages students to define clear, achievable goals.

What change they want to bring, who it will help, and how they will make it happen. Goal setting transforms wishful thinking into a road map for real support. In a world marked by rapid change, uncertainty, and immense opportunity, the ability to set and pursue meaningful goals is no longer optional—it is essential.

Among its many dimensions, goal-setting emerges as a foundational practice that not only empowers learners but also builds resilient, purpose-driven individuals who can positively shape their future. Students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and speak confidently. CPX also helps them to discover their strengths and come out as more resilient global citizens equipped with 21st-century skills.
