The Wisdom Corridor Project
Belardi, Bridget
Childhood Education, v99 n5 p24-29 2023
A subset of Project FUEL (Forwarding the Understanding of Every Life Lesson), Deepak Ramola and his team created The Wisdom Corridor Project for schools. Creating a Wisdom Corridor is a wonderful opportunity for students to get to know teachers outside of the formal curriculum, learn about their life lessons, and then transform the school corridors into vibrant learning environments that showcase the teachers' powerful life lessons to share with everyone who passes through the school. Project FUEL's training guides a group of 10-12 students (the Wisdom Squad) to become empathic interviewers who can add to the growing repository of life lessons. At a time when social-emotional learning is most critical, the Wisdom Corridor project brings self-awareness, societal perception, and relationship skills. While the Wisdom Squads practice empathic interviewing skills and compassionate communication, the rest of the school gains a wider perspective on the world outside of the classroom walls.
