Dare to Care
Description
Winner of the " Making a Difference Award - Best
Documentary Under 30 minutes " at the Global Community Film
Festival - (Toronto 2010)
What kind of young person do we want to produce at the end of a 12-year
education? This is the question that leading experts in both education and
philosophy are looking to answer.
In a series of interviews with Dr. Wanda Cassidy, Dr. Heesoon Bai and
other practicing educators, Dare to Care: Transforming Schools
through the Ethics of Care takes a critical and contemplative
look at education in the western world.
Have we put relationships at the bottom of the agenda and made test
scores and discipline the focuses of our schools? Has a “factory” approach to
educating our children created a difficult environment for teachers struggling
to keep up with a curriculum-based paradigm? How would an environment based on
the ethics of care look and how do we get there?
Dare to Care explores the many challenges that
arise when we try to create a more caring school environment and shows the
evolution of the western education model. This film empowers the audience to
further explore the issues for themselves.
Written and directed by Mike Hawley and Darcy Van Poelgeest, Dare
to Care combines High Definition, stock footage and super 8mm
film to offer an engaging and artistic educational video.
