Anhua St, Shunyi, Beijing

In collaboration with WYPR's Out of the Blocks podcast, fourteen grade 6-9 students from the International School of Beijing visited with a group of senior citizens from the block of high rises just north of the school. The visit resulted in rich conversations on happiness, wellness, family, change, culture and wisdom.

The Out of the Blocks: Global Youth Edition Beijing media project was created on ISB's "One Day" -- a full school day dedicated to a variety of student-led, project-based learning opportunities.

This project explored themes embedded in Out of the Blocks, most notably the idea that everybody has a story, especially those stories hidden in plain sight. (Presented in Mandarin)
