TIME TRAVEL - October 2008

Time travel in Worcester 1773, Ebbe Westergren of Kalmar Lans museum , the founder of Time Travel - some 23 yrs ago is passionate of this method of teaching & learning. Living a period in history, makes sense, practical and interesting. Participating in this time travel project, being an Indian slave for two hours made me feel disempowered, frustrated and lonely.

WE NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO BE DISENFRANCHISED.

This is a meaningful project for twinning. It further enhances our key objectives of nation building and reconciliation, empowerment, developing partnerships; networking and making our history come alive. Negative impact of world history must never be repeated. We must learn from our past and build on a positive future. Gulshera Khan
