Community Engagement
Grade 8 Digital Exhibition Goes Global
Shannon Kerry, Middle Years Programme Coordinator
Individuals or groups have the power to make choices to create and change systems of exchange and displacement
A Grade 8 overnight field trip, to Elmina Castle on the gold coast of Ghana, has been developed into a chance to engage with global peers.
Showing true community engagement, students researchers have created a Google site digital exhibition that showcases their research questions around the trans-atlantic slave trade and Elmina Castle in Ghana. Furthermore, this site will be shared with other schools around the world that do not have the chance to visit the site for themselves.
Each webpage of this digital exhibition, shares not only what the students learned about the systems of power at work in the world, but also their personal impression of visiting such an important historical site. By sharing the site, they hope to help students around the globe that do not have the chance to visit Ghana.
By sharing the site, our students are helping other students around the world to better understand the Trans-atlantic Slave trade historically and the repercussions still rippling through our world today.
