Abstract
Student, teacher, and institutional identity interweave with the common theme of education, and interpretation of this can often be idiosyncratic. The challenges of collaboration, volunteerism, and expertise are identified and explored to create opportunities for authentic engagement in any future endeavors toward the epistemological goal of education. This community-involved project aimed to encourage students to explore the skills required to complete a task. A five-member teacher team was established to facilitate students from two compulsory English seminar classes plus a few volunteers from senior classes, towards the epistemological goal of organising an online TEDxKUFS countdown event. Community support and acknowledgment from multiple perspectives can impact and inspire participants to allow students, teachers, and institutions to re-evaluate and choose what to identify with. Holistic, whole-school approaches with not only individual class success focus but also keeping in mind the epistemic character cultivation is of central importance when designing pedagogy.
