A documentary series looking at teachers from seven countries around the world. Globalisation of information, new technologies, the changing nature of our life and work...these are factors forcing education everywhere to face a period of reassessment. Some see it as a crisis, but others see it as a challenge. The seven teachers in this series meet the challenge head-on. They each combine an innovative approach with critically relevant lesson content to bring new life to the age-old profession of teaching. A co-production between NHK Japan, KBS Korea, TVO La Chaine Canada, WTTW Chicago,YLE Finland, Channel 2 Polish Television and Film Australia.
