Students Experience Why EVERYBODY is SOMEBODY™

The program begins with three short start-up lessons (via DVD) that explain the 5 Easy Who Is NOBODY?™ Steps. Each step is applied to an example Who Is NOBODY?™ Experience that supports Free The Children (www.freethechildren.com). This ready-made class Who Is NOBODY?™ Experience demonstrates to students how easy and fun it is to help others. (The rest of the program is self-running, via self-directed decision-making steps!)

Students then work on The 5 Easy Who Is NOBODY?™ Steps individually to explore and identify their own interests, and to experience their own way of helping living things. Each student has a turn to take NOBODY and the support materials home for a week (staggered over the school year). Then they reflect and document their experience via a story, picture and safely adding something to NOBODY that represents their Character-In-Action. At the end of each week, the participating student presents NOBODY, a story and picture to the class in order to share and celebrate putting unique strengths and the character attributes into ACTION! Students inspire each other.

Over the school year NOBODY goes from being NOBODY, a doll with no character, to SOMEBODY, who has lots of character as a result of each student's actions - becoming a class mascot. Students also assemble their individual stories, pictures and photos in a Scrapbook that unites and captures their experiences. The completed Scrapbook visits every student's home to share how NOBODY became SOMEBODY (thanks to EVERYBODY!). Follow-up exercises then relate Who Is NOBODY?™ Experiences to career choices and summarize key character-building concepts for students.
