Open Hands, a PowerPoint presentation with an interactive follow-up exercise, challenges students to make positive choices and rethink their responsibilities as global citizens. During the presentation, students learn about a fictional refugee character named Babette. Babette’s social status changes, after working years without pay, when she wins the lottery. Instead of choosing a new life of luxury, Babette gives away the entire jackpot to her community through the gift of hospitality.
Babette’s example gives students a chance to consider how they can share their resources with others. Following the presentation, students engage in a collaborative art project responding to this question: How can you help fix our broken world?
