About the Global Threads student edition project:
A celebration of cultural heritage stories as told by student storytellers as citizen journalists. The project is made possible through the Communities Connecting Heritage program managed by World Learning and sponsored by the US Department of State. The creative concept was born out of a collaboration from Global Ties Akron and Creative Group Serbia.
We are proud to share with you our third publication. Our Student Edition focused on three series of articles: iPromise Team I opens our eyes to the amazing cultural heritage of the Karen refugee community of Akron, iPromise Team II celebrates the traditions and heritage of the Congolese community of Akron and our citizen journalists from the museum of Kikinda and Akron's Early College High School will take you on a journey of exploration as they shared the quirks, history and cultures of each city together.
Enjoy!
