ABOUT
Africa-Canada Global Classroom Digital Learning Project
The Africa-Canada Global Classroom Digital Learning Project (hereinafter referred to as ACP) is an international collaborative teaching and learning, undertaking involving African-Canadian students and their peers in Africa.
It will use simple technology to provide opportunity for students and scholars in Africa and Canada to learn the skills of global citizenship, while supporting, inspiring, and empowering deprived students in rural Africa.
Students will identify environmental-related problems facing deprived rural communities and work to solve or alleviate them.
The first phase of the project will be the manufacturing and distribution of solar-powered lanterns among students who reside in rural communities off the national electricity grid in Ghana and Canada (BC).
The ACP involves an online course that offers theoretical grounding for global citizenship and literacy in sustainable development and the application of theoretical knowledge to the practical, everyday lives of rural students.
The ACP is an integral part of the Africa-Canada Education Foundation’s Afri-Canada Community Digital Literacy Learning Centre project. The project is a collaboration between Africa-Canada Education Foundation, One House Multicultural Communications, Unique Get-Together Society,Future Echo, and the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.
