The World As It Could Be: Scenes From the Summer Institute
On August 3-5, 2010, The World As It Could Be Project launched its first three-day Institute to train teachers and non-profit leaders on curriculum that utilizes the creative arts to enhance understanding of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and helps further its principles.
It was exciting to see the Institute come to life with our great team of presenters and 20 participating teachers, graduate students and non-profit professionals.
This video is the culminating presentation the August 2010 Institute participants created as part of experiencing the elements of The World As It Could Be curriculum. The performance takes place in the Presentation Theater of the University of San Francisco School of Education.
