The country coordinator of the Global Teenager Project in Tanzania, Mr.
Jacob Malihoja Mbawala, organised a launch in Dar es Salaam, where an
official from the Tanzanian Department of Education opened the GT
project. The new project manager of IICD, Nele Blommestein, was also
present, in addition to the headmasters of the participating schools
and their students. Symbolical, the official presented the latest
Learning Circle booklet to one of the students, to start the
project.
Schools and Learning Circles
Three schools will participate in the Learning
Circles, starting this September; Jitegemee Highschool, Makongo
Highschool and Shabaan Robert Highschool. In a Learning Circle,
students communicate with other classes all over the world about a
specific topic. The topics the schools chose are nature, human rights
and globalisation. Mr. Mbawala has plans to facilitate four more
schools in the next Learning Circle in March.
