More About Me

I'm passionate about

TED interacting and brainstorming with wise and smart people who have great imagination, knowledge, will and are fearless, open minded, compassionate and kind. Creative people with a vision. chocolat

An idea worth spreading

no classrooms. The kids learn in lab, farm, kitchen, theatre, library, etc. Kids teach kids what they learned. Abundance of nature where kids can hike, play, and find silence and stillness.. A kibuts set up. kids learn and have responsibilities like growing and preparing their food, cleaning after themselves, making their cloths and build. Teachers are top scholars, professionals, scientists, mathematicians, inventors, astronaut, artists, chefs, TED people etc. in residence. They come for a year and teach from their knowledge and experience. They are facilitators that come to the school because they want to give their time to educate future global citizens with values that promote peace, creativity, humility, integrity and self esteem. The emphasis is on inspiring the kids to be qurious and to want to learn and create. The teacher recieve best accommodation, best organic food, free time, space and support for research and work on their individual projects.

Talk to me about

Education, science, technology, medicin, art. About your story, your parents, family history, your best teachers, your vision, how you learn and teach and do it while hiking or making dinner.

People don't know that I'm good at

painting, listening, being by myself, tolerant, respectful, compassionate, understanding people emotions, making peace.

    A reply on Talk: Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food

    Feb 28 2010: yes,and you want to do something about it. as an artist, educator and a mother of a teenager
    i would take all these hats off to put one . one of changing the public school system upsite down.
    get the kids out of their chairs. give them tools, for cooking, for making cloths, for building, for making music, for making art, for cleaning, for anything they can use to help themselves be self reliable, content, curious and interested in life. teachers need to be kind and compassionate. they should be facilitators. show the kids their individual way of learning and reinforce it. not critisize it. that is ok to learn the way they can and when they can. teach by making. oliver is right. he is very inspiring. i cant help but want to work with him on this and tell all my friends. it was very sad to see the kids reaction to the vegetables. in my next art class i will give each student a name of a vegetable to bring to class the rest will be very interesting.
