Can schools have “stand-alone” service programs (opportunities, activities, campaigns and/or events) that are not connected explicitly to the curriculum?

Yes. Not every service activity has to be associated with a specific MYP unit. Both stand-alone and curriculum based approaches to service can be valuable, providing meaningful opportunities for student engagement and participation in service. Extra-curricular or co-curricular activities―including individual and family community service activities―can also provide opportunities for students to demonstrate learning outcomes for service. However, the MYP encourages schools to explore the many ways that service can be incorporated into the curriculum, particularly in the “action” aspect of the unit-planning process. Interdisciplinary units can offer especially powerful opportunities to explore service as action.

"This film has historic relevancy. I can see myself using it to encourage students to think about the value of the space program and how it speaks to the American Spirit and how we are often looking forward in our progress. This film begs to be used as an exploration of what it means to be a global citizen, how students can learn from people not like themselves, and what actions students can take in their everyday lives to make the world a better place."
