This week , the members of Everyday Leaders really buckled down and had some serious debates about where the direction that the club is going. For Tuesday, students participated in more team building activities as well as activities to discover if their perceptions of themselves is the same as how others perceive them.
Students also watched the movie created by Nathan Black, a student at Georgia Tech, and Nadia Moreno, a recent graduate from Emory University. These young film directors were panelist at the seminar the students attended at the MLK Service Summit. You can watch the 11 minute video on homelessness at http://overcomingpoverty.com/.
Through a Democratic process, the students started narrowing down project ideas and started debating on the benefits and the impact of the service project on themselves, their school, and their community. Students engaged in a self-led debate for over 30 minutes and enjoyed that their facilitator, Laura, was not allowed to say anything!
In the upcoming weeks, students will begin to define their project, plan logistics, create a budget and a timeline, and present their project to the principal, Mr. Underwood. I will post the proposal as soon as that process is completed.
Good debate, students!
