Join us for an exclusive screening of the documentary World Peace … and Other 4th Grade Achievements.
This film documents the efforts of John Hunter, a 4th grade teacher in
Charlottesville, VA, to engage his students in an exercise called the
World Peace Game. The game triggers an eight-week transformation of the
children from students of a neighborhood public school to citizens of
the world. The film reveals how a wise, loving teacher can unleash
students' full potential.
John Hunter was named one of Time Magazine’s 12 Education Activists in 2012, and his TEDTalk was rated the “Most Influential TEDTalk
of 2011.” The film has recently been presented at the Pentagon, the
United Nations, Google, Harvard, Georgetown, Aspen Ideas Festival and
continues to be written about widely.
Parents, teachers, or anyone with an interest in children and
their problem-solving abilities are encouraged to attend! For more
