The Stories so far - part 5

Hi everyone, Tracy DW here.


Thank you for tuning in to another episode of 'Stories to be
tolled.' Whether you're a regular listener or new to the podcast,
your support means the world to me. Available on all major
listening platforms, including LinkedIn, SoundCloud, and YouTube,
our podcast delves into the rich tapestry of historical
narratives.


In this episode, I share an extract from 'Hope for Zimbabwe -
Arise the Phoenix'  complimented by the podcast episode
"ZANU and ZAPU: Contrasts and Similarities." This story
underscores two key narratives: Africans' active struggle for
identity and liberation, and the diverse socio-political
landscape of Africa. This extract from Chapter Three explores the
turning point in Zimbabwe's struggle for independence,
highlighting the complexities of decolonisation and the rise of
nationalism in the mid-20th century.


This particular story holds a special place in my heart. It was
the first I presented to my pupils during an assembly following
the passing of President Robert Mugabe in 2019. The experience
underscored the importance of exposing children to global
perspectives and historical inquiries, fostering curiosity and
balanced viewpoints.


History is...a matter of fact or perspective? School Leader and
author of the 'Stories to be tolled' poetic narratives, Tracy DW
attempts to explore this question through her podcast series
about the British Empire and Britain’s colonial past. By inviting
you to share her learning journey, Tracy advocates a more global
approach to understanding history. Presenting learning about the
topic in a way that is thought provoking, imaginative and
engaging.
