Mr. Friedman is also the author of nine books on a wide variety of subjects, including fiction, philosophy, technical books and a picture book based in Bangladesh.

Thom Henley, “Inspiration, Connections & Empowerment in the Natural World”

About the keynote: There is a chronic and growing disconnect between lessons taught in the classroom and most student’s understanding of the natural world. Young people today can hardly be faulted for these failures when more of us than ever before live in urban settings with few opportunities for real life experiences in the outdoors. Being constantly bombarded with information and pressured to “perform” more and more

students are failing to bridge the divide between lessons taught with lessons really learned. Thom Henley has been working for nearly four decades to reverse this trend through experiential outdoor learning. He founded the Rediscovery program in 1978 and “In Touch With Nature Education” in the year 2000. This unique adventure-learning program has been serving some of Asia’s most prestigious schools – taking them far outside their comfort zones and familiarity in truly transformational experiences. Through stunning visual images, and personal stories, Thom Henley hopes to inspire students to expand their learning horizons, see the need for heartfelt connections in Nature and become empowered as groups to truly make a difference. About Thom Henley:

Thom Henley is the recipient of numerous environmental and human rights awards. He has been formally adopted and given names by indigenous peoples worldwide and considers himself a citizen of the world. The author and co-author of ten books on natural history, experiential education and native cultures, Mr. Henley has been invited to formally lecture in thirty countries of the 130 nations he has visited.

In 1974, Thom Henley launched the largest environmental campaign in Canadian history, a successful battle to save a world heritage site on the west coast of Canada from clear-cut logging. He also initiated Rediscovery in 1978 – a program that brings together youth from all nations to discovery more about themselves, other cultures and the wonders of the natural world. For the past ten years Mr. Henley has been directing In Touch With Nature Education, a program that offers international students transformational learning adventures in countries throughout Asia. In 2007 Thom purchased a spectacular 175-acre property along the Skeena River in northern British Columbia that he has been developed into the Soaring Spirits Camp - a cultural and adventure learning center for Rediscovery camps and international students from all over the world.

Student How-To Session Descriptions Student How-To Sessions are designed for students to empower each other to take action by sharing what they have done and teaching others how to repeat the process. You will have a chance to participate in two different How-To Sessions, though each session is only offered once. You do not have to sign up for the sessions in advance, but presenters will close the door at 23 participants.

Choice A (Saturday | 11:00-11:45) Title School Location “The Power of Multimedia” NIST 4301 Ping-Ko Chiu and Gordon Chang Humans are visual animals, and there's nothing better than using multimedia to promote your service group to your school, local and global community. In this How To session, we explore existing videos and images that are extremely effective. We will also provide resources on the internet for building our own viral multimedia on the web. Come to join the session and be amazed by how multimedia can really help your service group to reach communities inside & outside of school. Embrace the power of multimedia! “Dreams We Believe In” NIST 4302 Kaitlyn Madden and Sarika Bhatt HIV and AIDS is one of the worst pandemics the world has ever seen. It crosses both national and cultural borders paying no regard to age or gender. Worst of all it labels you as “dirty”. Slowly separating you from society. Many people are unaware that AIDS is not transmittable via everyday contact and this causes people to shy away from the infected. Leaving them vulnerable when they need support the most. Currently it is incurable and prevention methods like contraception are often unavailable or misunderstood. So? What do you do to tackle such a world-wide issue? Think Globally act locally. You can do something. No matter how big or small. See how we have tried to combat this in our local community and find inspiration on how to make a difference in yours. “Elephant Ambassadors” ISB 4303 Emme Fine It's hard to think of Thailand without thinking of elephants. They are amazing animals, but do you know all the cruelty associated with elephant tourism? Riding elephants, watching shows and seeing them paint may seem like fun, but not if you knew the

Learn all about their issues and how you can be supporting the solutions. “Sleep in a Box” ISB 4304 Sarah Corning, Becky Bradley, Lexie Crocker ISB Middle School GIN Club and Habitat Club joined forces to raise money for flood relief by putting on the popular event, Sleep in a Box. In this workshop, you will learn how to put together an overnight event such as this in your school. Students make a shelter out of recycled moving boxes for their group or "family". A simulation, similar to Oxfam's Hunger Banquet, was developed to give students an idea of how different socioeconomic groups experience a natural disaster, such as the recent Bangkok flood.

Partner a Karen Hill Tribe school Regent’s Pattaya 4305 (Baan Maelid) Ha Eun, Jisu and Ms. Charlie Find out what it is like to work with a Karen Hill tribe school and community in Mae Hong Son.

Yes!! Find out how ISB students got over 8500 people to help one grocery store to ban plastic bags and also helped 3 restaurants go green. The Carrotmob method is very different from typical ways of creating change. It is a win-win situation for the business, customer, and activists. It uses social networks, like Facebook, to make a difference. It is also really easy to organize and fun to be a part of. No standing in protest, no boycotting, no debating. Come see how the Carrotmob can help you create change. “Green Panthers” ISB 4304 Eng O-charoenrat, Jayna Milan, Cha Patra-Yanan, and Jj Erpaiboon ISB Green Panthers started 7 years ago and have made numerous changes to our school, community and business.

Mechai Viravaidya Foundation (MVF) www.mechaifoundation.org Pennie Bumrungsiri ([email protected]), Gavin Kuangparichat ([email protected]) Hannah Codrington ([email protected]) Since 1974, Mr. Mechai Viravaidya has strived to empower the poor of Thailand by promoting family planning, preventing HIV/AIDS, eradicating poverty, providing a world-class education for the underprivileged youth, and fostering a culture of philanthropy amongst youth. In 2009, Mr. Mechai established the Mechai Viravaidya

Foundation - a foundation that would specifically address the need for improved education and philanthropy amongst youth in Thailand. Students can get involved with projects such as: Green Village Toy Library With the help and encouragement of parents and grandparents, young urban children have the opportunity to extend their hands in friendship and generosity by donating toys to rural children. In turn, by performing environmentally–focused community service in lieu of monetary payment, rural children are able to borrow and enjoy toys. The guiding principle of the Green Village Toy Library is that access to toys is a human right for children. We hope this small start will eventually foster a new generation of philanthropists and environmentalists. Youth Philanthropy Network: MVF is dedicated to creating a sustainable model for change through its various programs and projects. A key component to creating sustainability is to ensure that the idea of public good is a mind set instilled in an active and ever-growing population of leaders. As such, MVF aims to teach the younger generation the “joy of doing public good” through its Youth Philanthropy program. Through this program, MVF hopes to foster a new generation of “junior social entrepreneurs” who will grow up to be socially-conscious and socially-concerned individuals engaging in future philanthropic activities, not out of sympathy, but out of habit. School-Based Integrated Rural Development (School-BIRD) The School-BIRD is an integrated social and economic development endeavor to raise the quality of life and educational standard of students and their families in and around schools operated by the government. The activities to be introduced through the school will comprise skills training for teachers and students' families, income generation, health improvement, educational progress, gender equality, democracy, environmental protection, and volunteerism. In order to attain a level of financial sustainability in the long run, a social enterprise or business arm will be established at the school and a microcredit fund will be established at the village. Mechai Pattana Bamboo School The Bamboo School emphasizes project-based learning, as opposed to the rote memorization that is usually taught in Thailand's public schools. This educational model ensures that the desire for knowledge does not end in the classroom. The students at the school are encouraged to take elective courses (including cooking, art, and computer skills) to harness their own inner creativity. Students use the internet along with textbooks, so that they have endless access to knowledge in the information age. There are no student fees in monetary terms at the school. Rather, the students and parents have to plant 365 trees and pay their fees with 365 hours of community service.

PATT (Plant A Tree Today) Foundation www.pattfoundation.org Jane Bailey ([email protected]) PATT Foundation aims to restore biologically diverse forest in areas where deforestation or habitat degradation has taken place. Local benefits of our work include improved environmental conditions for both human and wildlife populations, and global benefits include a net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus providing a valuable tool to tackle climate change. If you are passionate about environmental conservation, planting trees, and combating climate change, we need you! Plant A Tree Today (PATT) Foundation is happy to have enthusiastic volunteers from around the world join us here in Thailand. In our Environmental Outreach and Advocacy programme, you would primarily do community and school outreach to inspire others to plant more trees and take action to care for our environment. In our EcoKids program, you will help supervise kids in our environmental school holiday camp. With the help of volunteers placed around the country, we can get all of Thailand moving toward a greener way of life. Fundraising is an important factor in realising our ambitions to plant 1 million trees. We do our best, but always welcome help in this area. Do you have a passion for supporting environmental projects? Do you live in a community and have a network of family and friends? Then this could be an awesome way for you to make your contribution to a greener Earth. Project L.I.F.E. Foundation-Hope Cards www.hopecards.net Nattaya Eaimsoonthrn ([email protected]) Most Bangkok slum women don't want a hand out. They want a job. Hope Cards gives them that job, by providing work for them in their own homes, helping them become more self-sufficient. Women living in slums are provided with materials to make cards. Once they have completed a group of cards they are paid a fair wage for their work. Hope Cards began in the fall of 1999 with a few ladies making cards. We now have 12 ladies from 2 slums making cards, but hope to see that number increase to 13 by the end of the year. Hope Cards are distinct in that we primarily use the bark from the
