“TWIN” WITH AN ETHIOPIAN SCHOOL

On 21 Jun, 2012 By karethe With Comments Off

Every year, CNIS teaches thousands of elementary students in Africa a course called Peace Building for Elementary Schools. In the 2012-2013 school year, eight elementary schools in Axum, Northern Ethiopia are twinned with nine elementary schools in Canada.

Students will build friendships across borders through arts, letter writing, geography projects, and other student-generated ideas.
View some of the innovative twinning exchanges from last year on the Twinning Project web site.
