The Glens Falls Rotary club will acquire copies of, “Love Stories From A Thousand Years Ago”, a book published by Jacqueline Touba, PhD, a revered member of The Rotary Club of Glens Falls. Dr. Touba’s writing is a literary journey and collection of Persian miniature paintings that reside in museums and libraries around the world. The book will be shared with area high schools and SUNY Adirondack as an opportunity for the students and their teachers to learn more about Persian culture.
At the collegiate level, Dr. Touba will be a guest lecturer for the Dr. Norman A. Enhoring Lecture & Lunch Series, a well-attended program that is part of SUNY Adirondack’s Never Stop Learning imitative. There, Dr. Touba will have the opportunity to walk the audience through the rich history depicted by the miniatures.
The activities planned are intended to deepen students’ understanding of Persian history and culture and aligns well with the Rotary Club’s mission for literacy, and global citizenship. By leveraging the collected works of Dr. Touba’s “Love Stories From a Thousand Years Ago” and her knowledge. Libraries at schools are now often referred to as, “Collaborative Spaces” and technology is integrated as part of the media for learning. We would also like to link a QR-code; then, a digital print of one of Dr. Touba’s miniatures could be produced that would include the QR-code to her video. By rendering this display available to the students in their libraries or, collaborative spaces, the students gain the opportunity for an immersive learning experience without leaving the walls of their local school.
