"I am thrilled to see the creativity of young people. Far from despairing at some of the negative activities of youth, I find I am constantly surprised and humbled by their compassion and youthful wisdom. Learning for Life is an outstanding project that will inspire our youth to reach for the stars."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate
"'The big questions of life are questions for us all, whatever our age, status or background. The insights shown by these young people who have been part of the Learning for Life project are inspiring lessons for generations. I wholeheartedly commend it."
Dr. Rowan Williams, FBA, Archbishop of Canterbury
"An innovative and constructive contribution to the immensely important task of moral education."
Professor Alexander McCall Smith, CBE, PhD, FRSE
Professor of Law and Medical Ethics, University of Edinburgh and best-selling author
"To create is the distinctive capacity of the human beings. Its our hope. We must have time to think in order to behave - this is what education means - according to our own reflections. And time to listen too, to take advantage - as done in Learning for Life - of the experience and wisdom of many people."
Dr Federico Mayor, former Secretary-General of UNESCO
President of the Foundation for a Culture of Peace
"Mahatma Gandhi famously said that “ you should be the change you want to see the world.” My message to young people, exemplified in the Learning for Life values poster programme, is to be that change, to be that catalyst of hope in your community. Stand up to criminality, denounce violence, turn your back on drugs and embrace generosity instead. Seize the best of life, glory in the goodness of it, and then live it before God and humanity alike.
Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York"
"Todays crowded curriculum makes it difficult for students to find space for reflection. Learning for Life allows young people to bring the inspiration of others to bear on their own experience. I found participation as a judge inspirational - and was awed by the maturity and self-awareness. We discovered that Scotland's future is clearly in safe hands."
Wendy Alexander, Former Leader of the Scottish Labour Party
