About Docathon by MAD Courses

Docathon is a global student documentary initiative helping schools move from slogans to stories. We partner with international schools and universities worldwide to embed ethical storytelling into service learning, sustainability, and global citizenship programmes. Students investigate real issues, build genuine community relationships, and create short films that represent others responsibly - developing empathy, research skills, and leadership along the way. Delivered by MAD Courses, Docathon supports schools seeking deeper engagement, stronger partnerships, and authentic student voice. To inspire this life-changing positive action, our programs focus on sustainability, social innovation, and good enterprise. Our big mission is to raise a new generation of global citizens who are empowered to make a difference in their own lives and in others’.
