Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House's exciting new book
The Dalai Lama’s dialogue with high school students in 2006 was the catalyst for starting a conversation with British Columbia’s youth – a conversation about compassion. The students had been invited to submit stories about their experience with compassion and the results were astounding. With the support of Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House, the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education and the Vancouver School Board, the Stories of Compassion Project was initiated and over 300 stories and artwork from 38 schools were received. A selection of those stories and artwork are presented in the poignant and inspiring, “THIS IS COMPASSION!”

A is for Apple: Grading Achievement in Schools
|
"An Eastside Vancouver high school launches a media campaign to counter its low marks on the Fraser Institute's annual school rankings. This sparks a community project to explore public education issues and mentor student volunteers in documentary filmmaking. Questioning the growing emphasis on standardized testing, A is for Apple tests the value of authentic learning experiences outside the classroom. Blending stylized interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage with archival footage, the film wryly uses the propaganda film form to encourage media literacy and youth citizenship; stimulating discussion about the purpose of education and its assessment." |
