Pearson College Project Week

In October 2014, eight students from Pearson College spent a week at the Royal BC Museum. Working together, the students reflected on their ideas of home and belonging. They used the museum as their backdrop to investigate issues within their own home country. Where do you feel most at home?

Communication and Conflict School Program

Over a two week period in November 2014, students from different Victoria area schools learned about the importance of oral history during a project-based school program called Communication and Conflict. Students generated the questions and interviewed invited guests. They were also responsible for photographing, illustrating and editing these interviews. These videos are their final project. What questions would you have asked?
