Bolivia: Global Teenager

Description: Feria TIC Schoolboys, Bolivia. Started in 2000, Fundacion Ayni participated with a limited number of schools in the English language Learning Circles. In 2002, a 5-year project has started with twenty schools participating in the project in the department of Oruro. Seven schools are located in highly isolated rural areas that lack all access to basic services. In total an estimated number of ten thousand students and parents benefit from the project through direct participation in the content programmes or by means of indirect access, merely through using the computer facilities. Five schools participate in the Global Teenager Project aswell as in a more basic ICT programme focused on integration of ICT in daily classes. The project seeks active collaboration with the government body responsible for education on department level.
