173. The Hidden Curriculum Changing Lives Worldwide | Christine Vollmer

About this episode

Tammy Peterson interviews Christine Vollmer about the transformative impact of character education on children's lives.

What if a child's entire future could change through one meaningful story? In today's conversation, I sit with Christine Vollmer, President of Provive and founder of *Alive to the World*, a remarkable values and character-education program transforming classrooms across Venezuela and far beyond. Christine shares how virtues, empathy, purpose, and emotional development can reshape the lives of children—reducing school violence, lifting young men out of bullying, and giving young girls the confidence to protect their futures.
