Hope on the Rize is a writing and short film project that builds upon classroom learning to create an immersive and transformative experience for all participants. It leverages the humanizing power of poetry and creativity to build community, empower youth visions and voices, and bridge classroom learning with real-world impact.

As part of a larger of movement for change — aligned with the work of Belvie Rooks and Dedan Gills, through their organization, Growing a Global Heart, and the legacy work of Jane Goodall's Trees for Jane — our goal is to plant 1 million trees as testament to care and stewardship of student projects. For every film created as a celebration of our evolving global community, Pseads will plant a tree.
