Kathleen is an Education Consultant in Global Learning .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hull has strong links with Freetown due to William Wilberforce\u2019s work with the abolition of the Slave Trade and \u00a0Hull was the first city to twin with a town outside Europe. The Schools partnership is not a fund-raising scheme. Councils, Churches and schools have close links in both cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Primary and Junior schools in Hull are twinned with schools in Freetown, Sierra Leone. \u00a0They share projects and are in regular contact with each other. One such project eg. is the study of local rivers. This entails pupils from a school in Hull to compare say, the Humber or river Hull with rivers in or near Freetown. \u00a0A hairdressers job in Hull has been compared to that of a hairdresser in Freetown \u00a0The children study a great variety of \u00a0things so that each child learns about life in both countries. \u00a0The project has provided close contacts, friendships and a wealth of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2 members from each school in Hull meet together regularly to discuss things and the same happens in Freetown. Ideas are exchanged<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kathleen showed slides of various projects, particularly the Avenues Bicycle Project. The ABP collect cycles locally (in various conditions) repair them and send them in a large container to Sierra Leone. \u00a0Last year they decided that the large shipping container could be adapted into a classroom and this project is almost completed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hull, City of Culture has provided much information for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After answering several questions, Kathleen was thanked by Margaret Jenkins and presented with a bouquet of flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrea Hunt, a long-standing member of the Freetown Society in Hull, introduced the Speaker, Kathleen&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":673,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Freetown Society of Hull | News | Blog | Events | SI Beverley and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Beverley and District : Blog &amp; News : The Freetown Society of Hull : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Beverley and District .
