Hope and the Joy

-
In 5G during the 2nd period shown the short film "the Joy story".

It is a great animated short story about opportunities and helping each other. Students are encouraged to discuss topics of kindness and empathy they view in the film and critically reflect on their importance in daily life.Empathy is the awareness and understanding of another person's thoughts, feelings, and circumstances.  The ability to co-experience the feelings and thoughts of other people, is probably one of the most important skills a person may have. Understanding others' feelings and needs helps young people make and keep friends, encourages tolerance and acceptance of others promoting good mental health. Thus, being empathetic assists children and students in building and maintaining strong and healthy relationships developing with their family, class, school, and community. Helping children and students to develop a strong sense of empathy is beneficial because it promotes social harmony, reduces the likelihood of bullying and prejudice, lowers levels of stress and contributes to emotional and social growth. In an ever-changing world appreciating and being sensitive to others’ experiences, backgrounds, and cultures is essential. The activities sourced and designed provide opportunities for children and students to identify and experience the benefits of empathy utilising prosocial behaviours, compassion, perspective taking and other kindness attributes.


In the 4th period I got substitution at grade 5C and showed them the short film "Hope".


Hope is a short animated film that was written and directed by Abdulla Al Jananhi, a Qatari filmmaker. The film was originally released in 2020 and was funded by Doha Film Institute.
The film has won several international awards such as Best Animation at the 2021 Los Angeles Film Awards, Best Animation at the 2021 Top Shorts Film Festival, Best Short Film Award at the 2020 Ajyal Film Festival, and more.The short film "HOPE" is about the journey of a new born baby sea turtle named Aqua. During his journey, he faces many obstacles from human pollution to different predators. Using his mind and courage he overcomes one obstacle after the other, until he reaches his final destination. Just before he enters the sea, he witnesses a life changing scene, that he bravely overcomes and grows as a character.

The special induction session was taken by Dr. G V HARI ,  a renowned teacher, KPCC chairman and  National project director at  Jawahar Bal Manch.
