The Global Teenager project – A world class initiative children and youth, education for all

iicd.org – 
“Imagine how lively a classroom debate on immigration, rainforests or HIV/AIDS would be if teachers and pupils could link up with their peers in Ghana or Ecuador and get their opinions on the subject! Now, apply that thought to the school curriculum and you capture the essence of the Global Teenager project (GTP). The Global Teenager project enables classroom discussions to ‘go global’. It gives secondary schools a kick-start in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and it offers students a safe, structured environment in which to discuss global issues. It also provides them a strong basis in communication skills and valuable insights into other cultures. Finally, it livens up the whole teaching process as teachers incorporate new ideas and methods into their classes.”
