Teaching new relations to our common past

Teachers in Doetichem and the rest of the Achterhoek will be breaking new ground: they will be teaching a lesson plan that connects the histories of slavery in Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean isles to the instituting of the same regime in Indonesia.

Yet in the 4 week lesson plan for pupils between 8 and 12 years old, they learn to recognize that the struggle against that evil in the Dutch Kingdom - influenced by developments in Angola, Brazil, Haiti, India, Portugal, and the USA - produced the ultimate global good: Human Rights.

In interactive workshops the future teachers at Iselinge Hogeschool got acquainted with the extensive material. All showed keen interest in learning about the subject and  teaching the material to their pupils in various schools. The same lesson plan has been taught on St. Maarten and St. Eustatius allowing a growing set of children and teachers to relate to their common past differently.
