World peace and other fourth grade achievements
On the verge of enlightenment, John Hunter’s father told him that he needed to get something else too: a job. When he did succeed in getting hired as a teacher he asked what he was expected to do. The answer gave him the enlightenment he had been seeking: what do you want to do?
In one of the most inspiring talks at TEDxFlanders John explained a little about his World peace game. The multi-level game teaches kids how to solve all the world’s problems and be a better person at the same time. Not bad for fourth graders. He gives examples of the girl who took it on herself to start a war to avoid a bigger one and slow-talking Pablo, who became a leader over the course of the game.
