Episode Summary
On this episode I meet a documentary filmmaker from Western Academy of Beijing. Iris is currently in her junior year and we’re going to be talking about a documentary film that she made for her personal project at the end of gr. 10. For her personal project, Iris decided to give up her smartphone for an entire week, record the experience and turn that into a documentary film. Imagine the challenges that go way beyond losing access to our social media feeds. I love how Iris tells the story and shares her reflections on the experience and the connection to mindfulness that goes beyond her years. Before you listen to this episode, make sure to watch her film that is linked above in the show notes.

Episode Summary
On this episode, I meet Dana & Yani. At the time of recording, they were 1st grade students at the International School of Kigali, Rwanda. Their learning in class integrated SDG 3, good health and well-being. They explored the many facets of wellness, and investigated a variety of practices to improve the well-being of both themselves and their community. These students, along with their classmates, became experts, and ran workshops for older students, teachers, and the parent community to share their learning, and to highlight the importance of good health and well-being. They even share one of their favorite mindfulness practices at the end of the episode. As you listen, consider what will-being practices might be a good fit in your community.
