In addition the educators participated in workshops, school visits and cultural activities in both countries (2001-2003), as well as a conference and workshop in KwaZulu Natal,

South Africa (July 2002). Concluding activities for this project included a visit to Bowling Green State University, Columbus, Ohio and Kentucky (May 2003). During the 2003 exchange, South African teachers participated in various meetings with faculty and staff at BGSU, visited Toledo area schools, and participated in a workshop with Columbus educators on Integrating Social/Community Action in Social Studies Classrooms.
