We are working with the Ulwazi Programme, in co-operation with the Goethe-Insitut South Africa, to run a pilot Schools Project. Taking place over the next two terms at school’s in KwaMashu and Umlazi, the Ulwazi Programme will teach skills in ICT and historical research to participating students.
The Ulwazi school’s project will run at township and rural schools where there are computer laboratories, two schools during the 2nd semester 2011 and two schools during the 1st semester 2012. Students selected will be from grade 9 and 10, with an interest in history, language or IT. The project will be run in the afternoons as an extramural activity. The pilot project will be run with a practical task-based section and an online e-learning component, with a mentor assigned to each school.
A project blog, with more information, has been set up at http://ulwazi.org/school/. The students and mentors will take ownership of the blog and publish their own articles on it, for the duration of the project.
