Global Oneness Project Launches Free Multimedia Resources, Lesson Plans

The Global Oneness Project, a curator of multicultural studies, has launched a multimedia initiative for K-12 and higher education that combines free digital stories and lesson plans.

"The interdisciplinary stories — in the form of short documentary films, photo essays and articles — examine global themes with a humanistic lens," according to a news release. "The lesson plans facilitate critical thinking, reflective writing and in-class activities designed for use in the arts, environmental sciences, English, history courses and more."

Examples include:

  • A short documentary exhibited at the Smithsonian, Yukon Kings, that tells the story of a Yup'ik fisherman in Alaska whose way of life is under threat from cultural and environmental issues;
  • Mongolia's Nomads, an essay with images from photographer Taylor Weidman, profiles the life of Mongolian herders;
  • Vanishing Island, a documentary and lesson plan about residents of an island off the coast of Louisiana that is being swallowed by the ocean; and
  • Marie's Dictionary, a short documentary previously featured by National Geographic that profiles Marie Wilcox, the last fluent speaker of Wukchumni, and a dictionary she's created to keep the language alive.

New free stories and 60-minute lesson plans will be released each month. More information is available at globalonenessproject.org.

    Why Universities Are Ransomware's Easy Target: Lessons from the 23% Surge

    Academic environments face heightened risk because their collaboration-driven environments are inherently open, making them more susceptible to attack, while the high-value research data they hold makes them an especially attractive target. The question is not if this data will be targeted, but whether universities can defend it swiftly enough against increasingly AI-powered threats.
