Connecting
Cultures is currently working with UNESCO to develop
a series of easy to use, downloadable resources
for teachers to use in the classroom.
These resources
will be discussion and activity based, focusing
on defining culture and identifying the value of
cultural diversity and dialogue. In an effort to
tackle stereotyping, also included will be several
activities to develop media literacy amongst young
people. In 2009 schoolchildren will also be able
to communicate on-line with the young people taking
part in the Connecting Cultures desert journeys,
and receive daily updates live from the desert.
We aim to have
these resources on-line by the end of 2008. |
