[ted id=1127]A very interesting TED talk by a very inspiring teacher, John Hunter, who invented the World Peace Game.
“There are four countries around the board. The kids make up the names of the countries—some are rich, some are poor. They have different assets, commercially and military. And each country has a cabinet. There’s a Prime Minister, Secretary of State, Minister of Defense and a CFO. […] There’s a World Bank, arm dealers and a United Nations.
There’s also a 13-page crisis document with 50 interlocking problems: ethnic and minority tensions, chemical and nuclear spills, nuclear proliferation. There’s oil spills, environmental disasters, water rights disputes, breakaway republics, famine, endangered species and global warming”.
Right, I almost forgot to mention his students are fourth-graders, nine years old.
Watch to believe.

Sono la fondatrice de La Tela, creatrice del podcast Educare con calma e dal 2019 viaggio a tempo pieno con la mia famiglia Alex, Oliver ed Emily. Mi ritengo una visionaria pessimista: so come voglio cambiare l’educazione e che genitore ho scelto di essere, ma la maggior parte dei giorni mi sembra di scalare pareti di vetro. Ma forse proprio per questo so come aiutarti quando mi scrivi: perché ci passo anche io per quel disagio e ti dico le verità scomode con gentilezza e senza giudizio.
