Spruce Grove, Stony Plain & West Edmonton Projects 09

For the month of June we are focusing on Heritage Education conversations and other projects for schools see Inspiring Education (Heritiage Conversation Template).

In July and August we will work on projects related to our CSJ positions see Spruce Grove, Stony Plain & West Edmonton Positions 09. as follows:

Both students will

1. Contact organizations in the constituency (Edmonton - Spruce Grove) that work with persons with disabilities, newcomers to Canada, disadvantaged children & youth, seniors, Aboriginal people and members of visible minorities, with the view of developing a network of organizations that work with these groups.
2. Research the history of the above mentioned groups, especially interviewing seniors to create a digital archive for current and future use.
3. Use the research to develop and present historical stories, for use in schools and the community.
4. Use the Internet and other digital technology (especially digital versions of local history books).

1. Developing the network.
2. Researching and writing stories in English.
