Project Description

Let's face it:

The media is a black hole of negativity these days. It can really get you down. Opportunities to read about the unexpected kindness of others are few and far between. Think of this as a feel-good and uplifting kind of space.

This project offers a space for language learners studying in another country, to share stories of being encouraged by their peers, their teachers, new friends, or strangers, who went out of their ways to help in their language- learning journeys. These inspirational accounts should be no shorter than a paragraph and no longer than a page. Students will share their stories on a forum. They may choose to encourage their language – learning peers with a short message as well. Their peers may comment on the postings and support one another.
