High Resolves (or the High Resolves Initiative) is recognised as a leader in the design and delivery of capacity-building experiences for young people.[1] The aim of High Resolves programs are to educate high-school aged students in the meaning of being a global citizen.[2] High Resolves programs emerged from simulations developed by co-founder Mehrdad Baghai and Nobel Laureate Thomas Schelling at Harvard University which unexpectedly turned out to be an effective modern paradigm for moral education.[3]

History

High Resolves was founded in 2005 by Mehrdad Baghai author of The Alchemy of Growth [4] and his wife Roya.[3] High Resolves started as an experiment in Baghai's son's school in Sydney, Australia, and had expanded to at least 350 Australian schools by 2018,[3] having engaged more than 200,000 Australian students since its inception.[5]

In 2014 the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an independent evaluation of our programs and found:[1] "High Resolves is meeting its intended purposes, namely it is effectively engaging and helping to empower young Australians to take part and be active in their communities". Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).

Awards and honours

Author and venture capital entrepreneur Mehrdad Baghai, a member of the Initiative, was short-listed as a finalist for the first Aspen Institute, John P. McNulty Prize in 2008,[6] and ultimately was the winner of the award in 2018, the prize's eleventh year, citing extraordinary leadership.[3][5][7]

High Resolves won the 2015 Patrons Prize in the national Good Design Awards.[8]

The Patron’s Australian Design Award is presented annually by the Patron of Good Design Australia. The Award recognises and celebrates the best Australian designed product, service or project in the annual Good Design Awards and is awarded to an entry that has the potential to shape the future economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of our planet.[9]

Videos for Change Challenge

High Resolves created Videos for Change in 2015[10] to help students to take action and feel empowered to create change in the world.[11]

The Challenge is for young people from High School Years 7 to 12 to create a one-minute video on a social issue they feel passionate about. Past participants have covered issues such as social inclusion, racism, domestic violence, gender equality, LGBTQI rights, and bullying.[12]

The winners of each category are broadcast on Australian Network Ten's current affairs program The Project [13] [14]
