Abstract:
The Global Teenager Project (GTP) 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. Today, the GTP involves almost 10,000 pupils from 300 schools over 32 countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The GTP launched by the International Institute for Communication for Development (IICD) to meet the ICT needs of students, teachers and secondary schools. Pupils embrace the project because it makes learning fun and enables them to meet their peers all over the world. Teachers are inspired because it provides a new and exciting way to deliver lessons. Schools are pleased because it uses ICT infrastructure to reach curricular goals.
