Imagine, 21 people from all over the world discussing the way forward for the Global Teenager Project, and with success! Many great ideas came out of the meeting due to the completely participatory approach of the event. The objective was to find ways to improve the quality of the Learning Circles, exchange experience and knowledge, strategize and plan for the future of GTP, and familiarization with the technology supporting GTP. The fact that all coordinators brought in their own experience made them learn from each other and take complete ownership of the project. Next to IICD and Ms Kooij, KPN, a Dutch telecom provider, contributed to make the workshop a success. All participants greatly appreciated their efforts and their interest in activities happening in countries so far away.
