When Heather Palmer, a teacher at Valley View Elementary School in Edina Minnesota, wanted to do a service learning project with her sixth grade class she first turned to the curriculum developed by the 6 Billion Paths to Peace Project. 6 Billion Paths to Peace is an effort to inspire people to focus on our interconnectedness and reflect upon the individual contributions that each of us are making to a more harmonious world.

Heather teaches in a French Immersion class and wanted the students to have a way to practice their French, while considering what they will do in their lives to bring about Peace.

To bring this all together she had the students develop a TEL.A.VISION video, where each student wrote their statement in French and in English and added a photo to their words.

Here is a look at their prize winning video:
