What’s your role as a Guide?
As a Guide, you start and run the Curiosity Club at your school. And of course, you’ll have the support of the community along the way.
Make an actual change in your school!
We are a community of high school students who support each other and work together towards creating a safe and collaborative learning environment within schools. Are you in?
Get startedInitiate
First, there was nothing, then something—all thanks to the pioneering Guides who set the club up for the first time in their school. It’s scary to set up something new. What will people think? Will people like it? But taking that first leap is an essential skill to learn.
Guide, don’t teach
You are not a teacher, you are a Guide. You encourage curiosity about new topics, but let them find information themselves. When someone asks you a question, you can say you do not know and have them ask a fellow learner,
Stay curious
It’s okay not to know things. Learners will come up with things you might have never thought of, and that’s great! Staying curious about their projects will keep you on your toes and they will feel inspired by your curiosity.
Contribute
We are built on community. It means we get supported by other, and also support others. As a Guide, you run the club at your school, but you are also contributing to a wider community. As part of the community, we create, learn, and support each other.

What's in it for you?
You can probably make change alone, but as the African proverb tells us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”.

Guide in Amsterdam
"I’ve started Curiosity Club at my school to create a more comfortable learning environment where students can be themselves and enjoy learning. I felt like I couldn’t be open about the things I wanted to learn and had to stick to a strict curriculum."
Guide in Rotterdam
"It's a great opportunity for students to learn more about what they are actually curious about. I want to see how learning can be more interactive and be based on the student's own questions."
