Can one person really make a difference in the world? Join us as Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea, describes his own unlikely path from mountaineer to humanitarian.
Presenter: Greg Mortenson, best-selling author of Three Cups of Tea
Host: Suzie Boss, journalist and Edutopia.org blogger
Date: Thursday, April 15
Time: 1:30 p.m. EDT/10:30 a.m. PDT
Audience: Ideal for K-12 educators and students interested in building global awareness through service learning. Excellent for school assemblies and classroom participation.
Summary: Mortenson's best-selling story has inspired thousands of students to contribute to school-building efforts in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan through a service-learning program called Pennies for Peace.
Supported by a multimedia, standards-based curriculum for grades K-12, Pennies for Peace culminates with student-driven projects that develop leadership skills and build cross-cultural understanding. Mortenson explains how the program works, how teachers can get involved, and why students benefit from authentic opportunities to make their own difference in the world.
