As educators, it is obvious that our world is at a crisis point. We, ourselves, are often overwhelmed by the sheer number and size of our global problems; imagine how our students must feel. How do we make our students aware of problems such as global warming, nuclear proliferation, wars, and poverty without leaving them with a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness?

Nobelity is the answer to this difficult question. Turk Pipkin takes us on a global journey to hear from the experts, nine Nobel Laureates. In each conversation we are made aware of serious issues, yet we leave with feelings of hope and a desire to discover what each of us can do to improve the world in which we live. The film’s intimate narration, beautiful visuals, and young multi-cultural voices and perspectives, make this an essential resource for your classroom.

Too many educational resources about global concerns merely educate but do not inspire. Nobelity not only raises the awareness of our students, it inspires them to make a difference.

One piece at a time.”
