Connecting Scotland & Zambia
Our website uses the arts to connect schools in Scotland and Zambia.
Schools around Scotland, [particularly in Livingston New Town. West Lothian],
and schools in the town of Livingstone, Zambia, [beside Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Victoria Falls] are taking part.
We have pages about participating places in SCOTLAND, about The Bird Exchange in which pupils create and share images of birds that have never been seen before, and these wing off to pupils in the other continent.
We hope to develop our Connectng, Story Exchange and Want To Know? pages.
Our work began in 2013, the bicentenary of Scottish explorer David Livingstone. Learn more about his Scottish connections and friends at http://davidlivingstonescotland.webs.com/
Our website is edited by Ewan McVicar, with funding from our Scottish Government via National Trust Scotland.
Ewan has had much help from Belinda Hodge of Livingstone 2013 - see http://www.victoriafallslivingstone.com/
