The Helen Doron Young Heroes campaigns highlight the values of the company and empower our students to practise them actively on an ongoing basis. Each of the past campaigns has successfully encouraged our communities around the world to get involved, and many of the projects have continued over the years. The global Education franchise, successfully operating for over 37 years with locations in 40 countries, is unique in putting values for life at the forefront of its teaching method, as well as within every level of its international network. Embedded into all of our courses are values including the following and more:

• Kindness and compassion
• Teamwork and leadership
• Empathy and tolerance towards others
• Respecting cultural variety
• Protecting the environment
• Loving and caring for all living creatures
• Importance of friendship and family
• Giving back to the community

Children are encouraged to appreciate life at a young age, growing up with a healthy lifestyle and being encouraged to think in creative and innovative ways. The focus of the 2021-2022 Young Heroes campaign was enabling children, tweens and teens to perform simple acts of kindness and inspire others to do the same. The theme emphasized that “kindness costs NOTHING but means EVERYTHING!”

Cash prizes were awarded to the top 3 Young Hero projects’ chosen non-profit organisations as follows:

1^st Place – Spain with “The Great Food Collection Campaign”   €5,000 donation to “Food Banks of Spain”

All of the Helen Doron English Centro Helen Dorons in Spain joined the Great Food Collection Campaign that has been carried out throughout their country every year. All of the 80+ Helen Doron schools together collected almost 10,000 kilos of food. Families, students, teachers and franchisees collaborated by contributing their share so that no one will go hungry. All of the food collected was been donated to the food banks in all of the cities in Spain where there are Helen Doron Centro Helen Dorons.

2^nd Place – Serbia “Children’s Shelter”   €2,500 donation to “Belgrade Children’s Shelter” 

There are two shelters for poor or neglected children in Belgrade, Serbia. Workers and volunteers at these shelters work hard and do their very best to provide basic necessities for these kids. At Helen Doron in Belgrade, they decided to help these children and make their winter holiday a bit easier and a lot happier. They collected toys, board games, clothes and sweets for them, as well as donated several Christmas presents to the shelter. “You will give a little of your time, but you will get so much more in return.”

3^rd Place – Bosnia & Herzegovina “Spreading Kindness for Elders   €1,500 donation to “Udruženje građana – Oplemeni srce”

Students from all of the Helen Doron English schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina came together with a common idea of showing kindness to older neighbours and relatives, showing them how much they appreciate their knowledge, wisdom and experience, as well as delivering warm meals to those in need. They also visited nursing homes and brought gifts.

Since 1985, over 3 million Helen Doron English students have benefitted from the power of English as a second mother tongue as an essential tool for their future plans – be it travelling or living abroad, building a career, success in higher education, science, and technology, or even entering the global entertainment/mass communication market. The sky is the limit when you have fluent English in your tool kit!

Giving your children the gift of learning English with Helen Doron is a gift that lasts a lifetime, helping children realise their dreams for the future. Language can draw people together, create new understanding, and build bridges. Language spoken with integrity and passion can inspire greatness and a shared vision for a better world.

Helen Doron English for children’s back-to-school 2022 courses were all developed by a team of pedagogic experts for every age and level.

Musical Learning. POWERFUL BRAIN

 Music is a core aspect of all Helen Doron English programmes. Music is an essential tool for learning English naturally and through fun in all of our lessons. in all of our lessons. For example, many of us still sing the alphabet song in our heads when trying to remember the position of a given letter. That’s the power of music – it is hard-wired into your brain because it has a memorable pattern. Music is so much more than just a source of entertainment; it is an important part of our lifetime of learning. Children listen to songs with key vocabulary playing in the background while they’re engaged in everyday activities at home. They continue learning English and reinforcing it in their brain in a natural and fun way, achieving language immersion.

Empowered Child. CONFIDENCE FOR LIFE

Another important difference in Helen Doron’s after-school programmes is that only positive reinforcement is used. We all remember raising our hand in class to answer a question, only to be corrected. Many of us hesitated before raising our hands again.Children respond best to approval. When they feel confident, they dare to participate, speak up, step forward and contribute. Positive reinforcement is a fundamental part of the Helen Doron method. This is vital when learning a language since the important thing is to communicate, regardless of how perfect your grammar is. At Helen Doron, learning is a positive experience that empowers and motivates children to keep trying. We encourage children to practise repeated background hearing at home, listening to their favourite Helen Doron songs, which they know and feel comfortable singing anywhere, anytime.

Active Learning.  THINKING INDIVIDUALS

 Think back on how you acquired English. Most of us were well into elementary school when we began memorising lists of irregular or compound verbs.

Your child doesn’t have to know how to read to learn English. With Helen Doron, children absorb English as naturally as they do their mother tongue. Seeing the word “lemon” next to a picture isn’t the same as feeling it, smelling it, and tasting it. It’s easier to remember vocabulary when experiencing it in various ways.

Instead of being fed lists and grammar, our students learn through hands-on experience. They process information in their own way, making it more memorable and meaningful. Our unique way of teaching encourages individual thinking that deepens children’s comprehension of the world.

Fun Interaction. OPENS THE WORLD

 For children, life lessons are more often learned on the playground than in the classroom. Games help children build meaning from their experiences, make sense of the world, and navigate different social situations.

That is why Helen Doron’s English classes are full of engaging, fun activities that allow children to figure out how to express their ideas rather than simply accepting guidance from a teacher. These interactions are important social activities through which children construct new knowledge and build confidence as competent speakers.

Values. LEADERS OF TOMORROW

 Values of kindness, environmental consciousness, and non-violence cannot be taught by repeated instructions.  However, if you demonstrate the wanted behaviours and act as a role model, your child will most likely do the same.Helen Doron’s English courses work very much the same way. Our lessons indirectly teach children key values about caring for others and the world around them. The colourful characters featured in our original content tackle challenges and learn important life lessons. Our songs emphasise humanitarian and environmental values, and our games encourage children to demonstrate prosocial behaviour.

By acquiring the English language through Helen Doron, our students also gain vital life skills to navigate the world wisely, lead a healthy lifestyle, and positively impact the world.

ENGLISH. For your child’s future.
