Daniella Hickling

The "Passion for Change" conference hosted by New Dimensions High School allows Hickling's students to learn the impact history and culture have on society. Leading up to the three day event, students will research the political, economic, social and cultural changes of Francophone and Latin American history. Particular topics of interest include colonization of the New World, the Renaissance, slavery, economics and o ther subject areas. They will then present their findings at the school conference, which will include roundtable discussions and a cultural fashion show. It will also have exhibitions, dramatic interpretations of literary works and opportunities to learn about culture through music, dance and food. In the end, participants will have taken ownership of their learning, shared their finding s with others and built research portfolios. Hickling is a resident of Kissimmee.
