IN CONVERSATION WITH ADAM HALL, CHIEF STAR ORGANIZER

Mother, Baby & Child

|

May 2021

Not many schools in Dubai can claim to provide courses, competitions and extracurricular activities that prepare students to transition to an economy led by clean technology, nor can they count a Chief Star Organizer amongst their faculty. Dunecrest American School is truly a world apart.

IN CONVERSATION WITH ADAM HALL, CHIEF STAR ORGANIZER

Mother, Baby & Child caught up with Adam Hall, Middle School Science Teacher and Chief Star Organiser to learn how and why he combines his roles as educator and impact-driven social entrepreneur.

Adam, can you tell us a bit about your professional background and work with schools?

I have always been passionate about science and its ability to solve problems and improve life on earth. In my early career I worked in sales and marketing for some of the trailblazers in the renewable energy/social impact space, like Renewable Choice Energy, Clif Bar and recycOil.

I was then provided with an opportunity to help run Dr. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Programme at Shanghai American School. Roots & Shoots is an umbrella organisation that empowers youth to affect positive changes in their communities by providing organisational and networking tools, as well as amplifying each group’s mission and needs to foster collaboration and innovation.

Through Roots & Shoots, I was able to participate in Dr. Jane Goodall’s Million Trees Project (MTP) in Inner Mongolia. In this effort, Dr. Jane Goodall realised that forests were vital for all life on Earth - from their unique role in our ecosystems as food and habitats, to their critical role in ridding the atmosphere of greenhouse gasses. MTP sought to mobilise students and the private sector to conserve, restore and grow a million trees. The initiative was so successful, it is now the Trillion Trees Project! This experience really inspired and motivated me. I looked at the world and my skill set and considered what I could do to help improve the planet. This is how the Million Solar Stars Project was born.
