Global Dignity Day (Wed, October 17, 11:00-13:30 ET)
On October 17th, 2012, classrooms all around the world will once again be celebrating Global Dignity Day.
Last year, 22 schools and over 3,400 students in schools across Canada joined together to honour the intrinsic value and interconnectedness of each individual.
As a participating school partner of Global Dignity Day Canada, you would connect your class to the Parliament in Ottawa (Justin Trudeau and members from each national party), hearing from inspirational speakers who personally have struggled or been perceived to have struggled with Dignity. Their moving stories will unite the country and inspire your students to discover and share their personal Dignity story.
This is the second year that we ran this event and it is truly inspirational!
For more information, and to see just how global this event really is, please visit www.globaldignity.ca
Format on the day of the event:
- 30 minute series of key note speakers..
- 85 minute breakout session in which students create and share their own dignity stories and make a Dignity Pledge (within their own class).
- 35 minute session in which we go across Canada and get each site to share one dignity story. (It is super powerful!!)
Contact Craig Bullett (cbullett@learnquebec.ca) if you are interested. He can fast-track you through the registration since they are looking for representation from Quebec. He can help l figure out how to get you to a VC site if you don’t have one already in your school (every Anglophone Quebec board has several options now).
