Collaborative research

We conduct collaborative action research in EDS and have published our research in peer reviewed international journals. EDS is a learning organization.

Do you want to conduct action research and learn with us in EDS?

  • You are welcome to do your scientific research or teacher training practice in EDS. We can guide you in action research.
  • We always search new perspectives and to learn from constructive criticism from a place of love and curiosity. Welcome to share your ideas on sustainable development, organizational development and management of human and natural resources.

Empower young leaders

EDS empowers vulnerable children/youth to become leaders who mentor and teach children/youth, run EDS activities and create a child-friendly community. The EDS young leaders develop commitment, honesty, compassion, empathy and feelings for others.

EDS change agents have proven that children and youth can

  • take responsibility
  • teach and help other children get education
  • develop their community
  • make parents, schools, police and local leaders work for the child rights
  • be innovative entrepreneurs
  • find and implement solutions to problems when they get responsibility

How can I empower these young leaders to take continued action for a sustainable and child-friendly local and global community?

  • Invite them to training in leadership, management, economy, agriculture or pedagogy. The EDS young leaders will share what they learn with the EDS students and use it to develop EDS so more children get education and a safe childhood.
  • Invite them to visit projects/organizations and learn more about leadership, sustainable development, pedagogy and entrepreneurship.
  • Learn about and acknowledge their achievements by writing encouraging comments on their stories in Facebook and YouTube.
  • Share their powerful stories so everyone can see that “Everything is possible when we work from our heart and have faith in our dream!”
  • Connect with them through internet or visit them and experience how they run EDS
  • Do your student practice period in EDS and learn together with the EDS change agents

Educational scholarship

With higher education, the young EDS leaders will have more influence, and can motivate more people for positive actions. They can also better support their families as many of them are the breadwinners of their family

What can I do?

  • Inform us about educational scholarship for higher education suitable for the young EDS leaders
  • Support EDS economically so we can provide educational scholarships to our young and dedicated leaders.


Empower entrepreneurs

EDS youth have taken initiatives to develop small-scale social entrepreneurships where they sell clothes and grow crops and fish. The income goes to support their education and EDS educational and social activities.

How can I support?

  • Invest in their small-scale social entrepreneurships
  • Buy their produce: clothes
  • Share your expertise in business or agriculture with our young social entrepreneurs
