Three language learners at various stages of their stories collide in a montage which celebrates the first steps in the lifelong journey that is learning a second language.

This film was created remotely by 3 teachers living in China, South Korea, and Japan for the Liquid Arts 72-hour Film Festival. They were given a prop (a clock) and one line of dialogue ("the longest stories begin with a single breath") which they were required to include, and then had only 72 hours to write, shoot, edit, and submit the film. This is the final result of their effort! **FILMS may be viewed on Youtube ("About the Conference" drop down menu) or in the Watch Parties: Thursday 8pm-9pm or Sunday 10am-12pm or 2pm-6:30pm!**

The core business of English teachers in rural Mongolia is to educate school children through daily lessons and extra-curricular activities together with their peers in other subjects. Both of them are the “Skilled English Teachers” project participants. They represent all 22 schools from 15 soums and the provincial center. The Governor’s Office of Umnugovi province funded the project. Development Interlink NGO aims to contribute to teacher development and education for sustainable development.

In this video, the rural teachers and students will take the audience to their homelands and workplaces either preceded or followed by their warm greetings of the Teacher’s Day. It is fascinating to see how they love and respect each other. Their talks in English and references to the SDGs are real and rewarding. Reel to Real Film festival has provided an opportunity for rural teachers to share their Teacher’s Day event beyond Mongolia. **FILMS may be viewed on Youtube ("About the Conference" drop down menu) or in the Watch Parties: Thursday 8pm-9pm or Sunday 10am-12pm or 2pm-6:30pm!**
