Project+ideas

Thank you for an amazing discussion. It is interesting that several points were brought up by the students that are currently under consideration:

* A Certificate of Global Citizenship issued by the World Affairs Council if students complete certain requirements including participating insuch discussions a these, completing a project, etc. * Mahnaz Harrison, Consul for Georgia, serendipitously sent me a 6 minute video clip that embodies what the students from Root were saying. You will receive a copy as soon as I can figure out how to forward it without clogging our server or yours! * Several Hampton students remained after the discussion to chat with Dr.Lang. //**A few possible project ideas emerged based upon "Water Matters":**// * Develop a water awareness campaign on a local level. * Create a"Water Education Curriculum" with global impact, marketed through the United Nations. * Investigate the role of government with water: taxes, levies, laws, subsidies, etc. * What should the role of the UN be in water interests. * What impurities plague our individual water supplies. * Please post comments and suggestions on the Wiki. ***A possible project for Carl Kurlander's discussion of film:** *Students will watch "**St. Elmo's Fire**" and episodes of "**Saved by the Bell**." * Students involved in the discussion can select a random day - February 15, for example - and video "**A Day in the Life of a Student"** from Avonworth, Hampton, Roots, the American Academy and any other interested schools in the group. The videos will be edited into a documentary and shared in March, perhaps with Mr. Kurlander in attendance. The medium may be a video, photo,or even GigaPan essay.
