Summary

This project seeks to foster a digitally supported learning environment in Kenyan secondary schools. The expected output is that the Kenyan students and teachers will develop applications in their classroom environment; and broaden the scope of global development through interaction in the Learning Circles that form part of thr Global Teenager project. The learning experiences could be replicable and can be transferred to other schools in Kenya as well as abroad. In doing this the project will build synergy with like-minded initiatives from the Government of Kenya, civil society and private sector.
