ABOUT THE PROJECT "GLOBAL VILLAGE"
Content originalidea © Alona Senishch-Chmilewsky
Mansikkala School, Imatra, Finland, 2007-2008
The current project is dedicated to creating a virtual model of a global village by collecting relevant data and various facts about different countries around the world. We understand that we cannot create a global village in full sense with absolutely all countries included.Instead we are trying to investigate the world byexploring different corners of the globe to the extent that our possibilities allow. For this purpose we use free web-based applications that we have converted into learning tools using our imagination and wewant to thank all the providers listed below for such anopportunity.We have divided Our quest for knowledge and better understanding of other culturesinto two parts:
First part:collecting and sharing knowledge aboutchosen countries

There are three distinct types of Ghanaian music: ethnic and traditional music. This kind of music is usually played during festivals and funerals. It’s called higlife music, and it is a blend of tradional music and imported music. There’s also the choral music that is performed in concert halls, churches, schools and colleges.
Ghanaian music incorporates several distinct types of musical instruments including:
Axatse- Axatse -is a type of rattle or idiophone. It is constructed by hollowing out a gourd or calabash. Beads are attached with string which is woven in a fishnet design.
Gankogui
- Gankogui -is a double bell or gong. It is constructed from iron. In Ewe music in general, and during Atsiã in particular, gankogui keeps the time.
Kaganu-is
- Kaganu-is a narrow drum or membranophone about two feet tall, its head is about three inches in diameter and it is open at the bottom.

Cocoa that is the biggest cash crop, rice, coffee, cassaca, peanuts, corn, shea nuts and bananas are widely grown. Also, fishing and lumbering are very important to Ghana. Although inadequate roads and facilities have hindered the development of the timber industry.
Minerals are found in the north, south and costal regions. The most important minerals are gold, industrial diamonds, bauxite and manganese. In 2007 there is some petroleum exploitation and exploration for additional reserves identified significant deposits.

Sierra Leone by
When the civil war ended in Sierra Leone, there were a music festival to celebrate peace. All the biggest Sierra Leones stars wanted to be there. The music is mostly rap music e.g. Chosen and Anis Halloway are rap artists. In Kanye West's new album there are song Diamonds from Sierra Leone so called blood diamonds.
Thailand by Virote
The sound of traditional Thai ensemble music might be likened to a stream or river: the main current, the main melody, flow relentlessly onward surrounded by secondary currents that meander in and out of the main flow; here and there little eddies and swirls come suddenly to the surface to be seen momentarily, then to disappear as suddenly. There are no high points and no low points to the ear not educated to this kind of music; it flows onward in a steady non-differentiated band of sound, almost hypnotically, the various threads of seemingly independent melodies of the individual instruments bound together in a long, never-ending wreath like a Greek

India by Noorjehen
The story of Indian art is very old, in art there belongs a lot of history. Indian art is also an art of social, political and religious influences. When you look paintings and statues you can see they all are in some way very special. History begins alive when you look ancient art. Indian art can be classified into specific periods each reflecting particular religious, political and cultural developments. Here are them:
+Hinduism and Buddhism of the ancient period (3500 BCE-present)
+Islamic ascendancy (712-1757 CE)
+The Colonial period (1757-1947)
+Independence and the postcolonial period (Post-1947)
+Modernism
+Postmodernism
Each period is unique in its art, literature and architecture. Here you can see some Indian paintings and statues:
