Case: Scholar of Change - Christine Topper Program Transcript

CHRISTINE TOPPER: My name is Christine Topper and I am doctorate student in educational psychology at Walden University. Today I want to show you how I grow as a scholar practitioner and use what I learned in my courses to impact social change in my local community.

I am international school teacher in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a compact and vertical city. As such our student body does not have much exposure outside of home and has developed a disconnection from the natural world. High rise buildings are taking over the natural green spaces where children usually play and media technology is keeping people indoors and changing the lifestyle of society from active to sedentary. Richard Louv coined a term, nature deficit disorder, to explain this phenomena in his book Last Child in the Woods. Nature deficit disorder is a real social problem in a big city like Hong Kong. I decided to conduct an independent research study looking to ways to address nature deficit disorder.

Building on the rooftop greening project an early childhood teacher and myself started a sustainable micro-garden for the kindergarten students in the outdoor play space. The students were in charge of taking care of the garden, from planting, weeding, to harvesting and selling the produce at to the school community, and response to [INAUDIBLE] garden. We started with a herb patch and within a year it is grown into a vegetable and flower garden. With help from our secondary school the kindergarten students recently started a vertical plastic bottle garden.

We witnessed the benefits of the garden immediately. The pocket garden initiative will continue in my school this year. And we are collaborating with local organizations to create more green spaces in schools around Hong Hong. Contact and exposure to nature no longer happens intuitively, so adults need to create authentic opportunities for children to reengage with nature every day. We all can be an agent of change. Changing a child's life can be as simple as starting a garden at home or in the classroom.
