Comments for IB/Aga Khan Project in Zanzibar http://blogs.ibo.org/zanzibar A joint partnership by the International Baccalaureate and Aga Khan Development Network Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:39:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 Comment on Mtopepo Community School Visit by Monique Conn http://blogs.ibo.org/zanzibar/2009/04/29/mtopepo-community-school-visit/#comment-25 Monique Conn Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:57:48 +0000 http://blogs.ibo.org/zanzibar/?p=46#comment-25 This collaborative initiative between the IB and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) was a first step in working together to foster intercultural understanding. The selected cultural activities and visits deepened and challenged IB teachers' knowledge of the Zanzibari Muslim contexts, including areas such as education, art, music, history, sociology, linguistics, environment, economic, agriculture and maritime culture. Each cultural experience provoked discussion and reflection which resurfaced in the unit planning activities. The impact of this immersion into the local culture–including as seen on some of these pictures, visits to a community school and to an AKDN-supported early childhood 'madrasa' and training centre– did a lot to help teachers understand the power of community involvement and empowerment to create sustainable change.
