Nametags Assembly Program

Albert Einstein once said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Our Presenters illustrate how labels, or Nametags define the way that we think about ourselves and others.  Presenters use real life experiences that show how labels can often be limitations.

Our Presenters illustrate how labels, or Nametags, can blind us to what’s great in others and ourselves. They use real life experiences that show how labels can often eb limitations and encourage the students to follow their passions and dreams to find their personal geniuses.

Students will be pushed to recognize that everyone struggles. Nametags presenters open up about the details of their past and help students understand why being accepting of others’ differences is so important.

The program encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and ask questions to learn more about their fellow students.  When students learn more about each other, the better their understanding of what they have in common, as opposed to focusing on the differences that separate them, building a more inclusive community.

By definition, disabled means able to do less.  Presenters achievements do not fit the perception of disability, quietly changing perceptions of people with disabilities and limitations.

One Revolution’s mission is to turn perception of disability upside down.  We believe, at our core, that sharing our stories and allowing students to see our struggles creates a deep human connection.  This connection allows students to see themselves in the presenter, changing their perception of disability by focusing on the similarities that connect them.
