Language in Which You Will Present: English

Target Audience(s): Teachers in general

Short Session Description (one line): Kindness inside and outside the classroom

Full Session Description (as long as you would like): Inspired by the 30 Goals Challenge by Shelly Sanchez Terrell and Vicky Loras’s first post, I started a Project with my students, teachers and friends called “30 Days of Kindness” that was then stretched by popular demand to 72 days. The idea was to engage people with thought-provoking questions, quotes and other texts on kindness so that they could share what they are doing to bring it into their lives. In this session, we are going to look at some of these questions, how they were answered, see some practical ideas of activities I used in the classroom to spread kindness and then reflect on its meaning, inside and  outside the classroom. This is an activity that can be replicated easily everywhere, with or without technology, inspiring both students and teachers alike.
