Is this what Malcolm Gladwell was talking about?

As was blogged previously, a group of the 2008 Leaders cohort successfully completed a project called “Our New Brunswick/Notre Nouveau-Brunswick” in which 6 grade 7 classrooms from around the province created short-films about their communities. These short-films were exchanged between the 6 classes, and the students were brought together via videoconference last month to talk about their experience and their communities.

Turns out…there may be a sequel…

Inspired by the project, and appreciated of the opportunity to explore their community and the province through short-film, one of the participating classes from ONB/NNB from Northumberland County successfully applied for a grant with the Innovative Learning Fund, with the province of NB. This grant will allow them to visit some of the places they learned about during the project!

So let me get this straight…Group of the 21 Leaders from the 2005 cohort launch an organization called 21inc…launch a 21 Leaders Program… 21 Leaders (v.2008) go on a bus tour across the province…Group of ’08 Leaders get together to create a project that will allow students to discover their community and their province through film…Class receives a grant to visit some of the places they have discovered through ONB/NNB.

Stay tuned my friends…this is getting exciting!
