For the last 6 months, Shaftesbury School STEAM students have been collaborating on an online classroom project with students from Accra, Ghana; bringing learning together across the continents via Shaftesbury School's frontline technology in its 'innovative future classroom'.

This has been a transformative project for all students. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors we have been able to provide our students with this phenomenal opportunity. 12 students from Shaftesbury (UK) join 12 students from Ghana (Africa) live to learn via Zoom. The lessons have been transformational, opening young eyes to the world and spanning cultures. Students have been working side by side on issues such as climate change, ghost nets, and colonising Mars.

We are asking for funding to take this project to a place we never dreamed of. It was a dream whispered by a young student from Ghana, Brightness, who wants to overcome the barriers of technology, power supply, and resources that she experiences in her own country. She dreams of learning together with our STEAM students and accessing our technology. We want to make that happen, and we need your help.

We want to make that dream a reality. This fundraising page if to launch our initiative that brings her classroom closer to ours. We want to bring her 12 classmates to Shaftesbury School in June 2022. Help us bring her vision to life. Be part of a life changing educational project.
