Nelson Mandela's death leaves South
Africa wondering where to go next?
The death of Nelson Mandela will shake South
Africa to its core, no less than the deaths of John F Kennedy and Diana,
Princess of Wales delivered shell-shocked newscasters, public demonstrations of
grief and interrogations of the American and British psyches. That death in old
age does not fit the proper definition of "tragedy" will not console the
millions who grew up with him as a constant presence, like a grandfather, and
feel the loss just as keenly.

Mandela: Long
Walk to Freedom
A group of lesson
activities
“Mandela: Long
Walk to Freedom” tells the inspirational story of one of the greatest leaders of
our time, Nelson Mandela. From his humble beginnings in Transkei, South Africa,
to his 27-year incarceration for treason, to his eventual release to become the
president of a fully participatory, democratic South Africa, the story of
Mandela provides educators with an opportunity to dive into the issues of
freedom and forgiveness, equality and equanimity, reconciliation and redemption.
With that in mind, we have created the “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Educator’s
Guide”.
Education is a
vital component of furthering the film’s–and Mandela’s own–message. The
classroom lessons that accompany the film not only examine this explosive period
in the history of South Africa, but also afford an opportunity to explore
current events in Africa, America and around the world through the lens of an
incredible person and his incredible story

A Tribute to
Nelson Mandela
We are proud of
our long and special relationship Nelson Mandela, who has served as our Goodwill
Ambassador since 2005. His triumph over racism is a history-making achievement,
and forever part of humanity’s common heritage, safeguarded as UNESCO World
Heritage and Memory of the World. His life is an education to us all -- we must
help others, reach across all dividing lines, and cherish the world we live
in.
This is a very good example of the essence of
a Geographic Inquiry
Certainly for our students we need to make
the ‘what is
where’
connection
Which logically moves into the Inquiry or
‘WHY THERE’
And then or need in to day’s world and
specifically on Mandela’s Death
