Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC)

The two ladies form the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC) presented during our class time on Monday.

Their presentation made me think of things that I had not really thought of before. I knew that I wanted to teach my future students about other people in the world, but the issues of poverty or lack of resources for these people never crossed my mind. Both ladies had some very good ways to incorporate these ideas into an elementary classroom.  It really made me think and try to imagine other ways that I could get my future students to act on what I would teach them.

In my mind, their presentation connected with Hannah Taylor’s speech on Saturday morning. We can get students to think about those issues, but how can we can them to act on the issues? I think that is the important piece here.
