Helping Haiti - Kids are Global Citizens
This is a new Trickster Theatre initiative.
We have created an opportunity within our residency program, to encourage school children to get involved in being Global Citizens.
For schools that are already involved in Global Issues, or for those schools who want to become more connected, this new project is for you.
If you choose this theme for their Trickster Residency, we will provide you with web-based tools to facilitate both your residnecy and your on-going participation in global issues. We will help you learn about the issues, look at solutions, show you how to get involved in real projects, and help you document everything you do.
We have partnered with The Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC) to provide access to Alberta based NGO's, their curriculum resources, speakers, as well as connections to the southern communities that they are involved in.
