A lively Ghanaian music, movement and storytelling workshop was organised through WEDG for Year 7. Drumming resounded loudly through the music, art and drama centre for a day.

We are hoping our links and knowledge of Ghana will grow through next year as we plan literature, music and geography inputs. We are waiting for promised responses from the Ghanaian staff and feel that as a school we have gained a real link to another culture. It is not easy to make a link, patience is needed, and the demands of the secondary school curriculum create many constraints.

Much has depended upon individual staff and pupils using their own time and initiative, using internet links, helping to put up displays in school and giving assemblies about On-the-Line. We are now finding Divine chocolate everywhere and everyone is much more aware of fair trade issues and its importance to people in countries like Ghana. One word of caution to anyone considering a school link, it is not a project that can be neatly completed in one year. It is a long-term undertaking but worth the investment of time and effort.
