dHL Education Initiatives - FREE Services Overview

Digital Human Library (dHL) brings people together to make a difference for kids.

Video Conference with Experts

We provide K-12 school districts across Canada with access to a FREE library of hundreds of industry professionals, businesses, and NGOs (dHL Experts) who volunteer their time to support youth and learning. dHL Experts connect with classes via video conference to offer educational programs, career talks, Q&As/ inquiry support, and mentorships.

Social Innovation Projects

dHL has partnered with individuals, organizations, and businesses to design social innovation projects to engage students as experiential learners and change-makers!

Education for social innovation is about recognizing and acting on the power we have for making a positive difference in the world. By giving students opportunities to experience how positive change happens, and more importantly, how they can be both designers and leaders in creating change, we raise their awareness through empathy, giving students choice and voice to affect positive change in the world right now.

Deliverables
No deliverables exist for this project.
Mentorship
