As our graduates enter their final semester we come together as a community to support the preparation for their Green Stone presentations in June.
The Bridge is hosting multiple meetings, and in each of them, 4 students will share their path, their challenges and we will have the opportunity to offer them guidance, suggestions, and most of all love and strength in such an important period of their lives.
A requirement for every Green School graduate is a capstone project, known as Green Stone. Green Stone is a year-long inquiry and process where students demonstrate a mastery of core skills and Green School skills. This can be a passion project, an area of interest, or a solution to a real-world problem. The Green Stone experience culminates in a 13-minute TED-style talk the week before graduation. It is a life-changing experience and prepares every student for their next adventure and arguably for the rest of their life. Green Stone is a process and an experience that not only develops skills but also provides a platform to demonstrate mastery of those skills.

What is a woman? – Lila
Study of women, motherhood, feminism through the creation of a huge quilt art piece. With language, laws, politics created by men, it is impossible to describe women and feminism with words alone. I want to answer the question ‘What is a woman?’ through visuals and stories on my quilt… (I think?)

Where do I need help?: Refining my idea, making it more specific. Finding an expert quilt maker who I can learn from.
