Cultural Comparison's and Lesson Planning

Flying to Tel-Aviv today, the finalizing of class schedules for the next 7 weeks for our students will begin tomorrow as well as lesson planning to cover all stages of the program. Our first stage is to begin introducing graphic novel literature and the requirements for the final project, which are very flexible. Beyond the final graphic stories, our main initiative is to build relationships with the kids and university students. The processes of war and civil conflict can deeply disrupt the flow of cultural capital, threatening the historical continuation of their works of art. As a Canadian, I can compare this to the cultural materials of our aboriginal people. Without recent efforts to promote their works, there is a direct threat to the survival of the community's culture and a loss of such a rich and valuable wealth of knowledge and history. Help us continue these efforts witht the peacefull Palestinian community of Nablus. Donate to: http://www.givemeaning.com/project/nablusnovels
