This step-by-step mini-course guides educators to facilitate the service-learning process with students related to generosity and inclusion for people with all abilities. Just like generosity is part of all aspects of your life, teaching generosity and inclusion can be part of every aspect of teaching. We’ll show you how. This course is for the educator working in-school, after-school, with youth groups, or community foundation youth advisory committees.
We learn a little history of the painters Van Gogh and Gauguin who were driven by a need to give of themselves to others through art. Participants study the techniques and draw their own portraits. They make a gift of the portrait to someone.
The purpose of this lesson is to examine the tradition of giving and sharing in Indigenous communities and to learn about philanthropy in other cultures.
Indian Tale: A parrot remains loyal to the fig tree where he makes his home, although he is being tested. The god Shaka has withered the tree to test the parrot's fidelity. How does friendship endure the tests of time?
Tell me a story...
Têt, the New Year, had arrived. All the king’s relatives and friends had been invited to the palace to watch him wrap earth and sky cakes.
A Chinese Tale: A woman’s sons set out in search of the cherished silk brocade she has woven. When the two eldest sons refuse to follow the instructions to retrieve the stolen brocade, the youngest son fearlessly accepts the challenge. A magical reward is given to him and his mother.
Through this storytelling activity, children develop respect and empathy for others as they engage in the philanthropic act of generous listening. Together, we are building a culture that fosters communication and listening skills. In this StoryCorps style interview, children develop questions and choose who to interview.
Ignite meaningful action that lights up the world through "Service Sparks" youth projects! Lift others’ spirits with kind messages and art in windows and on sidewalks. Back up your kind messages with a little investigation of what makes people happy.
