Dr. Margo Groenewoud (University of Curaçao)
This digital repository includes unrestricted and restricted materials from special collections such as the Dutch Heritage Collection, as well as collections from the University of Curaçao and partner institutions.
Project Goals
- Develop a research program based on the playlist pedagogy concept that uses Zikinzá collection materials available in the Dutch Caribbean Digital Platform
- Improve Zikinzá collection metadata to increase accessibility and use
- Encourage more use of the Zikinzá collection in educational settings
Outcomes & Deliverables
The research program will bring local sources into the classroom to increase historical awareness and decolonize education. Students will learn to contextualize and build critical thinking skills through discussions about engaging with playlist recordings.
