Where do you find opportunities for exploring language and culture beyond the classroom? Have you found ways to involve your students in service learning projects? In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Chris Howell who is the co-founder of the Pulsera Project. This is an organization that supports artisans in Guatemala and Nicaragua through direct connections with schools and students in the United States. My school, Tower School in Marblehead, MA has partnered with Chris and the Pulsera Project. I have so much respect for the work that he and his organization do that I had to have him on the podcast to share all about it.

Topics in this Episode:

  • what the Pulsera Project is and what inspired Chris  to co-found the organization
  • how the mission has evolved since 2009
  • how the Pulsera Project fosters meaningful connections between U.S. students and artisans
  • educating students on Fair Trade
  • success stories of artisans and communities that has been positively impacted by the Pulsera Project
  • advice for language teachers who want to incorporate service learning and global citizenship into their classrooms
