Working With Schools
The Global Storybook Project
The Nasio Trust ‘Global storybook Project’ builds on the success of a remarkable collaboration between St. Swithun’s Primary school in Kennington, Oxford, and Mumias school in Western Kenya. Together, these schools created an anthology of short stories titled, Cosmic cats, which features contributions from 25 students from both Kennington and Mumias. The book, published on World Book Day 2024, has been a resounding success. With its striking cover designed by renowned illustrator Korky Paul, Cosmic Cats has already sold over 150 copies. The project obtained significant attention, including coverage on the BBC.
We are now thrilled to extend this opportunity to other schools in Oxfordshire. By developing the Nasio Trusts’ ‘Global Storybook Project’, we invite students to collaborate with one of our partner schools in Kenya in a unique and creative journey. Together, students will write short stories on a shared theme, with their work coming together to form a published anthology that celebrates cultural diversity, creativity, and empowers the voices of students from both the UK and Kenya.
With schools in Oxfordshire already eager to seize this exciting opportunity, you don’t want to miss out on the chance for your students to be part of something truly transformative and inspiring. For more information on this incredible project do not hesitate to contact us.
All proceeds from the sales of these books will go towards our Library Appeal.
Global Youth Education Project
The Global Youth Education Project is an innovative cross-continental initiative that brings together schools from Kenya, the United States, and the United Kingdom in a collaborative effort to address pressing global issues. Our pilot programme invites students to collaborate on projects that not only address global issues but also promote rich cross-cultural dialogues.
Through this unique partnership, participants gain valuable insights and broaden their perspectives, learning to view global issues through multiple lenses. This experience empowers students to think critically and creatively, enriching their understanding of how their own backgrounds influence their views on the world.
As we look to the future, the Global Youth Education Project aims to expand its reach, welcoming new schools from additional countries and continents. By forging these connections, we aspire to build a global community of young thinkers ready to engage with and influence the world around them.
If you would like to join us in this project as we inspire the next generation to embrace diversity, then get in contact.
