Journeys in Film broadens global learning through the powerful combination of age-appropriate films from around the world, interdisciplinary classroom materials, and professional development workshops for teachers and administrators. Designed to develop 21st century skills, this comprehensive curriculum model promotes widespread use of film as a “window to the world” to help secondary students to mitigate existing attitudes of cultural bias and racism, cultivate human empathy and compassion, develop a richer understanding of global issues, and prepare for effective participation in the world economy – as engaged global citizens.
Journeys in Film trains Middle School teachers and administrators in Global Education through Journeys in Film workshops. We develop cross-curricular, standards-based lesson plans based on foreign language films for youth. Our most popular curriculum is based on the Iranian film "Children of Heaven". | |
