Global Teenager Project - Zambia — by Web editor — last modified 2008-02-19 10:13

The Global Teenager Project (GTP) enables classroom discussions to Go Global, connecting Zambian secondary schools in Learning Circles with other students around the world, giving students a safe, structured environment in which to discuss global issues. It also provides them a strong basis in communication skills while offering valuable insights into other cultures. At the same time, GTP gives secondary schools a kick-start in the use of ICT and enlivens the educational process as teachers incorporate new ideas and methods into their classes. </p><p> Zambia&rsquo;s GTP currently involves fifteen secondary schools from Lusaka, but plans to include twenty-five schools by the end of 2008, with most of the new schools coming from outside Lusaka. Objectives specific to GTP Zambia involve developing ICT skills for students and teachers across Zambia; enhancing the public profile of GTP Zambia; creating a website as well as soliciting press coverage in order to create further opportunities to expand GTP to more schools, especially outside of Lusaka.

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.
