FAWCO Education Team/AIWC Cologne
Bridging Cultures Workshop Between Cologne and Kisumu
The Bridging Cultures Workshop started with great enthusiasm, and consisted of four successful 45 minute actual Skype sessions. Having great IT specialists present at the IBA (Cologne, Germany) and the Aga Khan School (Kisumu, Kenya) certainly helped. A total of 13 students were involved in the whole workshop. We soon realized...
Spearheaded by Arandeep Degun with the support of fellow AIWC Cologne members Mary Dobrian, Janet Davis, Sally Webersinke and Carol-Lyn McKelvey, the project had a great start. The first workshop, the World Wise School, ran for four sessions in April/May. The bright and enthusiastic participants were children of AIWC Cologne members and selected students from the International Friedensschule Koeln (IFK).
