Students from the New International School of Thailand (NIST) heard an extraordinary talk from and then dialogued with Academy Award Winner Oliver Stone. Mr. Stone’s visit to NIST was part of the third ASEAN event series "Bridges - Dialogues towards a Culture of Peace.”
At NIST, Mr. Stone gave a keynote speech on “film-making and peace-building” in which he suggested “kindness” as a key ingredient for a peaceful society. The foundation of kindness should be nurtured through schooling and education. Therefore, a school must not only teach students to be knowledgeable but it should teach them to be kind. For Mr. Stone, knowledge is gained and comes in forms of collective experiences which he described as the “Theory of Living”.
