Bird House Project

 


    A Birdhouse project is a mini project initiated by Lhomon Education students. In this short video, you will be able to see the process of work involved in it.  The project is carried out with an aspiration to benefit birds and other beings in and around Chokyi Gyatso Institute. The materials used for the construction of the birdhouses are done consciously. Thus, the use of plastics, rubbers, and paints are discouraged.

What is Lhomon Education

Lhomon Education (LME) is a grassroots initiative fostering the development of innovative curricula designed specifically for Bhutanese students. The basis of the LME initiative is an alternative model of teacher training and curriculum development that integrates principles of Gross National Happiness (GNH) in the truest sense of the term. Based on the overarching mission of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's Lhomon Society, and on the values and principles laid out in this document, Lhomon Education is helping teachers create unique GNH-based curricula for use in a variety of education environments. LME curriculum development workshops and teacher training seminars are open to a wide range of education institutions, including government schools, monasteries, women's organizations, rural education centers, and other formal and non-formal education institutions and initiatives in Bhutan.

LME currently has six working partners. By the end of 2012, each participating organization will have in hand their own highly-specialized curriculum. SJI will personally oversee the creation of a curriculum to be implemented at Chokyi Gyatso Institute, a monastery in East Bhutan. The pilot project will begin in 2013. As partner organizations join our trainings, we will also assist in what way we can in setting up classroom environments for their own pilot projects. In this way, SJI is building skills rather than imposing its own vision and will therefore benefit a greater number of educators.

Even the best curriculum needs skilled teachers who have the qualities of a kalayana mitra, a friend who can guide a student along the path, therefore LME's primary focus is on teacher training. A special seminar on developing the inner qualities of the teacher will take place in December, 2012. The teacher must believe in and embody the qualities we hope to instill in our students in order to pass them on. Bhutan is built on a legacy of master to disciple transmission of wisdom and we wish to follow that example.
