Episode Summary
On this episode, I have an amazing conversation with Angela & Sento from NIST in Bangkok. What I found most amazing about this conversation is the way these two student leaders are able to understand and articulate the importance of their work as global citizens. Join me as we talk about the service learning work that they are engaged in and passionate about, as well as their role as service learning leaders with ServiceCo. For context, ServiceCo is a student group made up of leaders from across their many service clubs who oversee the service learning initiatives across the school and provide leadership and guidance for this work. If you don’t have a student group like this at your school, listen and learn about the impact starting one would have.
Discover a transformative podcast on education and learning from a student perspective and student voice, exploring media, media literacy, and media production to inspire citizens in schools through a media lab focused on 21st-century learning, empathy to impact, Global citizenship, collaboration, systems thinking, service learning, PBL, CAS, MYP, PYP, DP, Service as Action, futures thinking, project-based learning, sustainability, well-being, harmony with nature, community engagement, experiential learning, and the role of teachers and teaching in fostering well-being and a better future.

Episode Summary
On this episode, we are off to the International School of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia where I have the pleasure of connecting with some internationally acclaimed documentary filmmakers Yesugen, Khuslen, Saranzaya, Ariuna, and Victor. These amazing and talented students were recognized for their documentary film that they created based around their long-standing community partnership with the Dolma Ling Soup Kitchen. The Dolma Ling Soup Kitchen is situated in the Khan-Uul district, an area characterized by a mix of urban development and traditional Mongolian culture. The soup kitchen plays a crucial role in the community by providing warm meals and essential support to the city's most vulnerable populations, including homeless and low-income families. Watch the film first and then join us for a conversation about community partnerships and how we might dispel stereotypes through positive use of media.
