 * Nurturing global consciousness**

Linking the study of people in with our HWEO (role-models) unit with Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea), John Wood (Room to Read), Muhammed Yunis (Micro-credit - Nobel Peace Prize Winner). Students could go away and do some focus research using an online sharing tool (ietherpad) on one person. Interest groups come back to complete a 3 way venn diagram through discussion. Student perspectives can be extended from narrowly studying 'famous movie stars and singers' to people who make a difference but may not be 'rich'. This also helped us to look at the characteristics of role-models of how our understandings and opinions may change throughout this study. (Allison - RCHK year 4)


 * Developing intercultural awareness**

Through the above, students were able to see how role models from Western countries are helping those in Asian or Eastern societies and the challenges that come with working across and amongst other cultures. (Allison - RCHK year 4)


 * Promoting action with a global perspective**
