“Each generation of young people is shaped by specific qualities and influences.

• Role of Our Generation Our generation possesses remarkable abilities compared to our parents
and our ancestor’s generation, few of these abilities that are crucial in all of our lives could be
o Digital Proficiency: Growing up with technology, our generation is highly skilled in
using digital tools for learning, problem-solving, and connecting globally. Our generation
is more immersed in technology than any other past generations and it is crucial to
understand and recognize that our generation is being shaped with technology
o Adaptability and Resilience: Faced with rapid social and environmental changes, this
generation is resilient and capable of adapting to new circumstances, learning quickly,
and thriving in diverse environments. Our generation, more specific “Gen Z” has faced
many changes and adjustments throughout the years, this constant change has led this
generation to adapt to dynamicity
o Global Awareness and Cultural Sensitivity: Todays generation as mentioned above is
immersed in the technology world, that being said this generation is also very connected,
meaning everything is “One-click away”. This creates a sense of Awareness and
Sensitivity.
• However it’s crucial to channel this and many other qualities positively as everything has its own
downside when done Too much, Too little or Misused, we need to be aware of the positive and
the negative impact of our qualities in order to prevent social issues. As students at One Planet
and youth of this generation we need guidance to achieve our full potential and also achieve One
Planet's vision of a world that is both materially and morally prosperous.
• As students of One Planet International School we need to align our actions and goals with One
Planet’s Vision and Mission, Serving humanity and Excelling academically, to achieve those
we engage in academic excellence, the junior youth program, social action, and community
service. These activities help us pave a path to serving humanity

• Guiding Goal The core goal guiding us is to serve our community and humanity with
passion, utilizing our full potential. Education at One Planet is designed to prepare us for a life of
service.
• Balancing education, personal responsibilities, social media, hobbies, spirituality, and health can
be challenging. However, integrating these aspects through service helps us create a harmonious
life where each part supports the other, reducing stress and uncertainty.
• As it can be challenging to integrate all of those aspects into our lives, all of them are
interconnected through our education, as the ultimate goal of our education is to serve humanity
every aspect of our lives is connected through education and service, it is through service that us
the youth of this generation can learn how to excel in bringing all of those parts of our lives
together
• Seeing these parts of life as separate and unconnected can lead to confusion and uncertainty,
seeing life this way can make people feel forced to choose between things like studying or
serving, achieving material success or helping others, working or dedicating themselves to
service, as students of One Planet International School we need to create that balance between
excelling in our education and truly serving humanity, we should be able to live Coherent Lives
• How can we live coherent lives?
Living coherently doesn’t mean perfection; it’s about striving for a balanced, values-driven
approach that brings wholeness and purpose to life.
 o Define Your Core Values: Take time to reflect on what truly matters to you, such as
integrity, kindness, growth, or service. Once these values are clear, use them as guiding
principles for your decisions and actions.
o Set Meaningful Goals: Choose goals that resonate with your values and broader
purpose. Focus on long-term, meaningful aspirations over fleeting interests, so that your
daily actions contribute to something greater.
o Integrate Life’s Aspects: Rather than seeing areas like work, relationships, personal
growth, and service as separate or competing, look for ways they can complement each
other. For instance, choose a career aligned with your values, seek relationships that
support your growth, or find ways to serve others through your talents.
o Practice Self-Reflection: Regularly check in with yourself to assess whether your
actions align with your values. Self-reflection allows you to adjust and stay true to your
core beliefs, even as circumstances change.
o Simplify and Prioritize: A coherent life doesn’t mean juggling everything; it often
means choosing fewer commitments that deeply align with your purpose. This way, you
can focus on what truly fulfills you, rather than being stretched across conflicting
priorities.
o Embrace Integrity: Integrity is key to coherence. Honesty with yourself and others
builds trust and ensures that your inner values match your outward actions. This
consistency fosters authenticity and allows you to live in alignment with your beliefs.
o Adapt with Purpose: Life changes, and so may your understanding of your purpose. Be
flexible and open to growth, adapting your approach while staying rooted in your core
values.
Influences and Growth We interact with various environments—family, friends, school, work, media,
and community—and recognize the influences shaping these spaces. Positive influences like truth,
knowledge, and beauty propel us forward, while negative ones like materialism and self-centeredness can
hinder our growth. By focusing on positive spiritual and social influences, we enhance our ability to build
a better civilization.
False Choices As students of One Planet International School aligning our actions with One Planet’s
Vision would mean serving humanity, however serving humanity shouldn’t be forced and done because
of social conformity, service isn’t something we do because we feel like it or to show off, its something
that we should do out of passion and from our hearts. Aligning our actions with One Planet’s vision
would mean to serve others selflessly and from our hearts and we should avoid False choices not just in
serving others but also in our lives entirely.

Contributing To the Advancement of Civilization

Process of Breakdown The breakdown represents the collapse of old systems that can’t meet
humanity’s current needs, seen in issues like violence, war, and corruption. While this
breakdown causes confusion and suffering, it also removes divisive barriers, pushing us toward
unity.

Process of Building Up Alongside this breakdown, more people are inspired to work for unity
and progress, contributing to a new civilization that is unified, peaceful, and advanced both
morally and materially. This civilization demands new social structures and a commitment to
seeing all people as part of one human family.
