UN News: Global teachers' conference to mark the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery (Part 1) , Posted by Menelik Zeleke
23 March 2011
New approaches to teaching African history and the transatlantic slave trade (Part 1/2).
A one-day global video conference for teachers, curriculum supervisors and administrators at the primary and secondary levels from countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and North America that have been affected by the transatlantic slave trade.
The video conference, anchored in the Economic and Social Council Chamber at UN Headquarters in NY, will highlight several panel discussions throughout the day - one that will respond to the questions “why the slave trade should matter to us”, and “what is the gap between the available knowledge and what is taught in the classroom about the slave trade?”
One panel, chaired by Ms Ulrike Storost from UNESCO focussed on new research, curricula and teaching of the transatlantic slave trade. To encourage information sharing among the educators during and beyond the event on 23 March, the United Nations Department of Public Information will create a Facebook page.
In addition to educators from New York City and other parts of the United States who attended the conference at UN Headquarters in New York, others were invited through UNESCO’s Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) as well as the network of UN Information Centers to participate via videoconference from distant sites.
