Education
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.
