Up With People (UWP) has begun their second semester of offering TEL.A.VISION to its cast members, staff and students from around the world. Up With People is an International Organization that has been traveling the world bringing a vision of hope and peace to audiences through music and performance for over 45 years. Their cast of 100 is made up of students ages 17-28 from 20 countries from around the world.

Here are some of the cast’s vision videos: Alicia Kit Sophia

On their first tour of 2011 UWP brought TEL.A.VISION to students in a number of places they traveled on their tour. They worked with At Risk students in Vera Beach through the Boys and Girls Club. They were amazed at the excitement that refugees in the Netherlands had for creating a vision video. Here is Peyton’s video.

But probably their favorite classroom experience was in Chihuahua Jinte,  Mexico where they worked with a group of second graders on creating a vision for the world. Here is an example: Vision for the World

Shelsea Olsea, the UWP Educational Coordinator said, “TEL.A.VISION is an opportunity for our cast members to take what they know in their head and bring it into their heart. We are very excited about our first semester of using TEL.A.VISION and look forward to using it this semester.”
