Q&A with David Willows, Question 5:
Q: What is your greatest challenge in the telling the story of International School of Brussels (pictured)?
A: One of the biggest challenges that we face in the context of an
international school is this: with 1,500 students from 70 nationalities, whose history do we teach? This is a critical issue facing anyone involved in education right now and, sadly, there are no short answers. I am lucky enough to be in a learning environment where we are at least wrestling with this question every day and providing a curricular framework that begins to address this issue.
One thing I would say, however, is that storytelling insists that we take up a position, stand for something and give lie to the myth of neutrality.
You can’t ever stand outside the story!
