In this thoughtful talk, Erahm Christopher, explores the power and the need in listening to the students in schools today. As violence, mental health and loneliness continue to impact children and threaten safety in schools, this talk highlights the behavior of a fish and applies it to what is missing in schools. Are we listening to our children? Using the experiences shared in this talk, adults can empower and help students as they navigate the obstacles they face in schools. Christopher states, “My dream outcome for the talk is to inspire the audience to rethink what listening means and change how they do it in every aspect of their life.” Erahm is a film producer, social strategist, and entrepreneur from Montreal, Canada. Erahm has been bringing his film and social change work to the Spokane community for the past several years and is thrilled to be back for TEDxSpokane. When asked about his hopes for his TED Talk, Erahm replied, “My dream outcome for the talk is to inspire the audience to rethink what listening means and change how they do it in every aspect of their life.”
