Today, there are 56 material barriers that have been placed on borders, and this number is still growing. Why is this happening today, in a world that was expected to become more and more connected? In this education package, this issue will be addressed. In four lectures, you will watch the documentary Walls, discuss with your students the proliferation of walls worldwide, why these walls are being built and how people respond to them. In the final assignment, you will challenge your students to imagine a different world.
Our educational materials include:
- The reader, containing materials for inspiring lectures, incl. multiple assignments and a list of further readings;
- The documentary WALLS (2015, 52 minutes) on DVD;
- Powerpoint presentation on a USB stick (70 slides) that serves as the backbone for your lectures;
bridges | walls | human geography | America-Mexico
barriers | political science | divisions | conflict
us/them discourse | modern-day segregation
