VOW Project

At my internship school, I will be doing a cross-curricular project. The purpose of the project is to break down the walls of the classroom (not literally of course) and together with other teachers of different subjects organize something for the students together with the students. This is to meet the transversal objectives.

Bailo bo (hi)storia

Baila bo (hi)storia (translated: dance your (hi)story), is a project in which young people discover their own family history and that of Aruba in collaboration with arts professionals. Through various workshops in artistic disciplines such as film, music, dance and fashion, participants will explore. What missing pieces of history are not mentioned in textbooks? During the project there will also be a conversation about how Aruba's slavery past has affected the participants. How can we rewrite this together and transfer it to modern times through art so that future generations can connect with their heritage? The result? A presentation of the final product at an amazing outdoor venue for an audience and a music video.
