Abstract

The Words and Pictures project aims to stimulate links between students in Australian schools and those from other nations. Through the process of sharing their drawings and stories, students develop a deeper understanding of each other’s culture, beliefs and living conditions, as well as exploring their own modes of expression. This iteration of the project collected art work by students in the Solomon Islands, where the authors’ personal connections to the location and history are also brought in to focus. A video of the project accompanies this article.
