One Life... Many Gifts

Thanks to the generosity of an organ donor and their family, Dylan received a life-saving heart transplant. In September of 2021, after a long and challenging recovery, Dylan stepped back onto the court in his last year of high school at Ridley College to pursue his dream of obtaining a Division 1 scholarship and becoming the first player ever to do so with a donated heart. We are grateful to Dylan and his family for sharing their journey and for recognizing the great need for raising awareness about the powerful impact of organ donation and encouraging families to learn about and talk about this life-saving gift.

This short film was produced by Game Seven Media in association with Ridley College.

Our team has visited the world (online) to see what resources are in use in other countries. Find links to each resource at the bottom of this page. Many countries and organizations, sharing our belief that education about organ and tissue donation and transplant are key to shifting attitudes so donation is the norm and not the exception, have developed excellent toolkits, videos, interactive infographics, compelling stories and more. If you decide to use a resource from another country, be sure to also include Canadian facts, stats and information about how donation works in Canada.

Netherlands | The Transplantation Society

Connecting DOTs. Connecting DOTs is an online platform dedicated to educating schoolchildren on donation and organ transplantation (Donation and Organ Transplantation for Schools). It provides information for teachers, students and their families. As organ transplantation is a very important topic for the treatment of end-stage organ disease, it is important to raise awareness amongst the general public.

United Kingdom

The NHS Blood and Transplant have developed free, curriculum-linked resources for secondary school teachers in England, to educate Key Stage 3 and 4 students (11-16 year olds) about blood, organ and stem cell donation. These resources have been developed by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) in collaboration with the Anthony Nolan, a UK-based charity, and with the support of practicing teachers.

Australia

One Life... Many Gifts

One Life...Many Gifts is a curriculum resource to educate senior secondary school students about the vital importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation. It was first developed in 2008, by Trillium Gift of Life Network, London Health Sciences Centre's Multi-Organ Transplant Program and the Kidney Foundation of Canada . It brings to life the drama, generosity and the life-saving promise of donation and transplantation. It remains a valuable tool for engaging secondary students in learning and conversation about organ donation.

Though developed some years ago, this well-regarded resource continues offers valuable information for high-school students, educators and parents.

This collection of booklets is a cross-curricular resource for senior high-school students. The curriculum is designed to be used in seven subject areas – the Arts, English, Health and Physical Education, Science, Guidance and Career Education, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Canadian and World Studies. Teachers and students can use various parts of the curriculum depending on the students’ interest and the course content.

This curriculum is dedicated to the many Ontarians who have given the gift of life through the donation of organs and tissue and to the many others who will in the future.

Because this curriculum was created and published prior to 2015 it does not meet current screen reader or accessibility standards. The legacy documents along with plain text versions are available below. Work is underway to redevelop materials to current standards.

About this Curriculum

One Life...Many Gifts is a curriculum resource to educate senior secondary school students about the vital importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation. It brings to life the drama, generosity and the life-saving promise of donation and transplantation.

Funding for this project was provided by the provincial Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.This project would not have been possible without their support or the generosity of an anonymous Ontario resident whose contribution ensures that students in the province understand the life-saving promise of organ and tissue donation and transplantation. The Steering Committee sincerely thanks all of our supporters.

The development of this curriculum has been co-sponsored and coordinated by the Trillium Gift of Life Network, the Multi-Organ Transplant Program at London Health Sciences Centre and The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Educating secondary school students and their families about the need for organ and tissue donation and the success of transplantation was originally initiated in the London region in 2000. With funding received from The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the Multi-Organ Transplant Program at London Health Sciences Centre had the vision to develop a unit of study, One Life...Many Gifts, working with both the Thames Valley District School Board and the London Catholic District School Board. The original program was used in Healthy Active Living Education, Grade 11, Open (PPL30) in Ontario's curriculum. The curriculum resource before you builds on the vision and foundation provided by this original program and the Steering Committee gratefully acknowledges the dedication and pioneering effort of all those involved in the original program.

This curriculum is dedicated to the many Ontarians who have given the gift of life through the donation of organs and tissue and to the many others who will in the future.

Donor families, recipients, health-care professionals, educators and community members were all very generous with their time and expertise. One Life...Many Gifts is richer because of their participation.

Medical health-care professionals from the field of organ and tissue donation and transplantation and educational advisors were involved in the development and implementation of the One Life...Many Gifts project. The Steering Committee gratefully acknowledges and thanks the many individuals who contributed to the success of this project.

Description

Chain of Life

In this highly regarded program, students learn the correct information about organ and tissue donation and explore true stories. They are then encouraged to form their own enlightened, personal opinion on this important current issue and share it with their parents, thus becoming ambassadors of family discussion about organ and tissue donation. As well, students are made aware of just how invaluable it is to have a healthy body.

“The importance of the role of education, for both our health professionals and for the people of Quebec in general, is undeniable. Since its very beginning, Chain of Life has sought to bring the health and education sectors together in order to ensure that as many people as possible are exposed to the messages of hope and solidarity that organ and tissue donation represents."

Lucie Dumont, president and founder of Chain of Life

Both Chain of Life programs include a learning and evaluation situation (LES) in line with the Quebec government programs. The English as a Second Language (ESL) and English Language Arts (ELA) programs were created by a team of seasoned curriculum developers and then field-tested. The scientific information was validated by Transplant Quebec. Chain of Life is now being taught in 100+ schools in Quebec.

Chain of Life is a recognized charity whose mission is to educate youth aged 15–17 about organ and tissue donation and lead them to becoming ambassadors of family discussion.

Though created in the province of Quebec, educators in other provinces and around the world may find Chain of Life a program that is worth exploring to see if it can be adapted to fit their local context.
