The Oakville Community Foundation’s Community Classroom Online, a digital platform designed to provide accessible education, has re-launched with a new slate of online programming.
The new programming includes video from community partners such as ArtHouse, the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton and the Oakville Chamber Orchestra. Videos are posted regularly, with many activities designed for teaching about art and culture in a virtual classroom or home setting. The platform is also used for live-streamed events, with several talks and discussions scheduled for the coming months.
February will see two presentations by Inuk singer/songwriter Susan Aglukark, presenting her multimedia show Nomad for different age groups, which addresses topics in Canadian and Indigenous history.
Other upcoming programming will aim to address Chinese New Year and Black History Month. The Community Classroom was first launched in 2018 to address unequal access to community programs, and it was first used in local schools before moving online in April of 2000.
The new year marks a return to virtual education in Ontario, and the Community Classroom has also returned to digital programming, beginning with a virtual performance of Visions of Turtle Island. Modern education often uses digital tools with interactive elements and compelling graphic design alongside more traditional approaches.
The Community Classroom Online is now available on the Oakville Community Foundation website. The Nomad presentation will take place on February 9 and 10.
