Podcasts about world peace game

The World Peace Game is the brainchild of educator John Hunter. He describes it as “learning to live and work comfortably in the unknown.” It's hard to imagine a more curiosity-centric undertaking. A three-dimensional, hands-on political simulation, the World Peace Game explores the interconnectedness of the global community through economic, social, and environmental crises and the imminent threat of war. The goal is to extricate all the countries from those dangerous circumstances and achieve global prosperity, with the least amount of military intervention. And it's played by 4th graders. World Peace Game: https://worldpeacegame.org Theme music by Sean Balick; “UpUpUp and Over" by The Balloonist, via Blue Dot Sessions.

For almost fifty years, people have been gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia to achieve something that seems impossible: world peace. And despite the fact these people are kids, they're pretty successful. Schoolteacher John Hunter invented The World Peace Game as a way to teach messy geopolitical realities. He never could have anticipated what his students ended up teaching him— or that the game would bring him face-to-face with the heights of real-world power.Leave us a voicemail at 702-706-TALK, or email us at podcast@storycorps.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Today's students have the world at their fingertips. With cell phones and laptops, they no longer need to rely on teachers as the sole providers of educational content. How does this shift the balance of power in our nation's classrooms? What do educators need to do to better engage these digital natives? And how can schools help students develop the skills they need to solve the problems of the future?  In this episode, Kevin turns to John Hunter, an elementary school teacher and creator of the World Peace Game, to discuss how educators and students can create compelling lesson plans together. Joining the discussion is Jamie Casap, former chief education evangelist at Google, to share how teachers and parents can unleash their students' creative powers.

In this episode, I speak with John Hunter, an award-winning teacher and educational consultant who created the World Peace Game in 1978. He is the founder and executive director of the World Peace Game Foundation and has spoken about his work at TED, the US Pentagon, Google, the Aspen Institute, and many other places. John is also the author of World Peace and Other Fourth-Grade Accomplishments.

In this episode, we’re exploring that future by looking to the past. Leading Lines producer Cliff Anderson shares a fascinating interview with tech entrepreneur Brian Dear about his book The Friendly Orange Glow: The Untold Story of the Rise of Cyberculture. The book tells the story of PLATO, an experiment in the 1960s and 1970s to see if a computer could teach people. In the interview, Brian Dear talks about the development of PLATO and its impact on the history of computing. He mentions a few names you likely know, like Douglas Engelbart, Seymour Papert, and Isaac Asimov, as well as a few you likely don’t. And he discusses the origin and importance of things we often take for granted today, like a display that responds as you type and the role of social connections in learning. This episode is a little longer than our usual, but if you have any interest in the history of computing, I think you’ll find it really interesting.

As a mum and a marketer, I'm fascinated with how we connect to one another as humans - how we learn, how we relate and how we grow into being the best versions of ourselves. But who defined "best" and how do we instil this desire into our children? As adults, how do we avoid being derailed from that path? John Hunter is an educator of more than 40 years and the inventor of the World Peace Game, a fascinating child-centred, collaborative learning-based board game available in 36 countries. The game encourages children to develop effective communication and conflict resolution skills, while empowering them to experiment and make their own decisions. In today's episode of Be The Drop, John discusses the importance of teaching children self-empowerment and compassion. He reflects on how his supervisor's unwillingness to tell him what path to take ended up being the space he needed to develop his life's work. ---- This interview was recorded at Annesley Junior School by Narrative Marketing whilst delivering a video project - check out the video via this link or head to our YouTube channel.

Hvordan kan vi gjøre undervisningen mer levende og mindre abstrakt for elevene? Kan vi spille oss til bedre undervisning? Hvordan kan vi skaffe fred på jorden? Erik Aarebrot og jeg samtaler om alle disse temaene en formiddag på Media City Bergen. Vi ser på World Peace Game og hvordan dette opplegget kan fungere i samfunnsfag og gå på tvers av fag, og gi både faglig kompetanse og allmenn danning.

World Peace Game 2017 Intro Day 1 by WCDS Cougar Casts

Week 2 of the World Peace Game at WCDS

Week 1 of World Peace Game at WCDS

In World Peace and Other 4th-Grade Achievements, filmmaker Chris Farina tells how John Hunter created the "World Peace Game" for his students in Richmond, Virginia. The game teaches conflict resolution and collective problem solving and transforms students from a neighborhood public school to citizens of the world. The film reveals how a wise, loving teacher can unleash students' full potential. The film premiered at South by Southwest in 2010 and was shown on public television two years later. John Hunter spoke at TED 2011, and his book, World Peace and Other 4th-Grade Achievements, was published earlier this year.After a screening, award-winning teacher John Hunter and filmmaker Chris Farina discuss World Peace -- the game, the book, the film -- and take questions from the audience. Recorded On: Thursday, October 3, 2013

Amidst all the talk about the importance of education, and all the endless debates about public policy, we often forget that at the heart of the debate, is what it means to be a teacher and the awesome power and responsibility that comes with that job. Imagine a teacher who does not lecture, but leads; who teaches world peace by studying war; who respects students enough to instill in them the confidence to make the world anew...even while still in the 4th grade. This has been the work of John Hunter. John is a teacher and musician and the inventor of the World Peace Game. He is the star of the new documentary and author of the new book World Peace and Other 4th-Grade AchievementsMy conversation with John Hunter: var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

In John Hunter’s classroom, students fearlessly set about tackling global problems - and discovering surprising solutions - by playing Hunter’s groundbreaking World Peace Game. These kids — from 4th grade through high school (in schools both well-funded and under-resourced) — take on the roles of prime ministers, tribal leaders, diplomats, and military commanders. Through battles and negotiations, standoffs and summits, they strive to resolve a sequence of many-layered, interconnected scenarios, from nuclear proliferation to tribal warfare.The kids test the possibility of confrontation, only later - ultimately - to choose peace. John's class even played the World Peace Game with the Department of Defense at the Pentagon last year – and will play again there this spring - offering all of us not only a forward-thinking vision from the front lines of American education, but also a generous blueprint for a world that bends toward cooperation, rather than conflict. Now, John Hunter joins Julie Ann on ConsciousSHIFT to share inspiring stories from over thirty years teaching the World Peace Game, revealing the principles of successful collaboration that people of any age can apply anywhere - & tools which may help us all in efforts for a more peaceful world.Award-winning teacher John Hunter has spoken at TED, the Aspen Ideas Festival, the United Nations, and elsewhere to share the lessons of the World Peace Game.
