Hi , I am writing from Canberra Sec School in singapore and we are organising the above project. This project hopes to involve schools and students all over the world whether SARS affected or not. We would like to invite you to participate. Our project involves : A collection of articles, data and research from participating schools documenting the following: - how has SARS affected life in your country? (social-economic effects like on tourism related industries , or public education programs, prevention and containment measures, medical and scientific research carried out by your country etc) - how SARS has affected your school or education in general (eg school closure, ensuring the safety of students in schools, using e-learning during school closure, raising students' awareness and social responisibility etc) - personal stories/reactions/reflections to/on the disease and the changes it has brought, fears and worries etc - inspirational stories of courage , dedication and sacrifice - how to instill confidence in the people to lead normal lives, precautionary measures, health-related advice etc This could include photos, publication about prevention and public education like phamplets and posters, media coverage, interviews etc Another aspect of this project is a digital art collage contributed by all participating schools based on the theme of COURAGE in the battle against this disease. This could explore values like courage, dedication, sacrifice, of common people, patients or medical personnel PRODUCT: - webpage with photos and write-up contributed by the schools - documenting the process of the project (could also include audio and video documentary produced by the students) - Published book of collection of contributions of participating schools - my school will be in charge of collating and publishing and this book will be sent to all participating schools - digital art collage will be put together by my school and printed on T-shirts to be sent to each participating school plus framed and given as tribute to the SARS designated hospital in Singapore TIME -FRAME - JUNE - preparation and registration of schools - July - OCT - Project phase I hope to hear from you soon and if you have any ideas to add, this will be most welcomed.
