Hope Builders
Description
The future of the world is perhaps being played out in an elementary school in
Quebec, where a teacher is implementing a new teaching method (Action
Research) aimed at preparing children to take up environmental challenges.
During a very special school year, the students of Dominique Leduc’s grade six
class are learning to identify, rigorously analyze and resolve a problem that
exists in their world. They are also learning about the uncertainty faced by
those who want to change things. A unique and invaluable witness to this
experimental educational project, the documentary Hope Builders
demonstrates how this teaching method is important in developing critical
intelligence in students, but it also underlines the crucial role of the
teacher. Director emeritus Fernand Dansereau reminds us therefore that we must
still look to the human instinct to find reasons to hope.
