Global Ambition – Community
3:28 pm on the 1st of February, 2009
This weekend students from 5 schools from all across Europe and America gathered in Edinburgh to share their findings for the Community theme of the Global Ambition project.
I am the co-ordinating teacher for the Hawick High School team, but really all that meant this weekend was I drove the two representatives up to Edinburgh and let them strut their stuff. I was incredibly proud of the boys and they should be pleased with the work they have done so far and, especially how they presented themselves this weekend. You can read a little about what the Hawick team have been up to by looking at their wiki, I know they would appreciate your comments and questions. Hawick High School’s Global Ambition Wiki
The teams from Sweden, Shetland, Germany, and New Jersey all made a really good showing of themselves and all took part in incredibly rich discussions based upon each team’s findings.
Hopefully we can keep up these meetings – the chances of finding any other such group of students all working together on such a topic are very slim. They are such a diverse bunch, yet (as was pointed out) they have so much in common. I wish I had had these opportunities when I was at school.
It was also really interesting to meet with some of the students taking part in the Learning School project this year.
