Cultural Horizons of North America[series info]

Beyond Borders

In this program students are reminded how important it is not to judge a group by the actions of one member, and challenges them to find examples of young people reaching across borders to help others. They learn about a student at Milwaukee`s St. Joan Antida High School who has decided to support her Muslim friends and fight stereotypes by wearing a Muslim headscarf. The children also discover young people who are fostering change by using the Internet to make friends in Japan, supporting global environmental efforts by participating in an art exchange, and raising money to provide everyday supplies to a Guatemalan child in need. The final segment features Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children, and his work to improve the lives of child laborers in Asia and South America.
