A key goal of Sunrise is to develop a feeling of the interconnectedness of all things and to nurture an attitude of love and respect for the environment and everything in it. The elements of the programme are carefully planned to encourage children to deepen their concern for the welfare of others and to extend this to other forms of life, such as animals and plants. In this way they come to realise that all living beings are interrelated and that the welfare of others is inseparable from their own. Through the behaviour of teachers and implementation of the programme, the children learn to care for and nourish their environment and its inhabitants.
