By coordinating with schools, Rock Ed will be providing 'alternative social studies classes' to Juniors and Seniors in High School. College Students may coordinate with us through an organization or via a Department's Program Director. What we do is, we send a 'substitute teacher' to a school for one day to conduct a Rock Ed Session. Basically, a Rock Ed session is an integration of two things: it is a "career choice" talk and a discussion on one relevant MDG. (to see MDG's read UN DIRECTOR IN MANILA article on the News Gallery of this website)

Note: The "career choice" talks are designed to make the Senior High School student be more equipped to make his choice of course for college. The goals are:

• the student should be able to find his way to finding out what his passion is (whether its music, art, math, numbers, ahtletics, etc)
  
• the student to realize that there are rewards in putting in work to be excellent in his craft or field of discipline -regardless of what it is -- and that one can only sustain that endurance when it is something he or she enjoys doing
  
• and if the world is lucky, his or her contribution will benefit more than just a few people.

Celebrities, visual artists, performing artists, theatre actors, musicians, singers, songwriters, poets, writers, athletes, fashion designers, professors, photographers, dancers, sculptors, NGO founders, entrepreneurs, young executives, etc.

The Global Call to Action Against Poverty ROCK ED SERIES is a coordination of several events through art, music, poetry, photography, sports, literature, fashion, theatre, advertising, film, video arts, documentaries, dance, etc. Through these creative expressions of thought, we generate media interest to let the world know that we are lending our voices to this campaign to end poverty. This also falls under the media awareness "No More Excuses, Philippines." campaign.

Anybody who is not holding a political or appointed position in the government. Rock Ed is a private citizen's movement. If you hold office, then we assume you are contributing to the country while you are in that office, so we'd rather not cut into your time.

Then he/she ceases to be a Rock Ed Volunteer. But if he/she eventually works and achieves measurable success in addressing some of the Millennium Development Goals, then the Rock Ed Convenors can deliberate and make him or her an honorary Rock Ed Volunteer. (REV)

Get in touch with us and tell us how you want to get involved in this anti-poverty alternative education campaign. Rock Ed wants you to be part of the series via your expertise or through something that you enjoy. Other than that, you can help by learning more about the poverty issues, debt issues and trade and aid issues and talk about it to others. It will take people talking and bringing it to the forefront. Only with your voice can you change the world. Ask more critical questions. Don't just take things as they are.
