I am delighted to announce that students and staff from Helston Community College will be participating in a Connecting Classrooms project with schools from the Palestinian Territories. The project is based on the theme of identity and is intended to give students the opportunity to learn about each other's lives, hopes and problems. It should be a fantastic opportunity for them to develop a sense of being a truly global citizen.
Pictured with Dr McGovern are Mrs Dumia Tomar a teacher from Bet Ommar Secondary School for Girls and Mr Iyad Jararaa from the Ministry of Education who visited our College following a contact seminar in London run by the British Council that I attended.
Mrs Tomar brought with her some moving art work created by her students representing their journey to school and the problems they face.
There are others that are representative of typical images from the Palestinian Territories.
