Now, apply that thought to the school curriculum and you capture the essence of the Global Teenager project (GTP). The Global Teenager project enables classroom discussions to 'go global'. It gives secondary schools a kick-start in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and it offers students a safe, structured environment in which to discuss global issues. It also provides them a strong basis in communication skills and valuable insights into other cultures. Finally, it livens up the whole teaching process as teachers incorporate new ideas and methods into their classes.
