Learning Exchanges
Schools for Future (Online) – Bridging schools around the planet using online communication methods. The program aims to motivate children to get to know other cultures by coming up with small creative projects mainly about environmental sustainability and peace. Projects are created by children and facilitated by their teachers and the Kokiri network.
Project Goal: Creating meaningful communication between children around the world to create a sustainable future.
Political Science: Conflict Resolution and Peace Building (Online) – Online discussions & International Training between young students from around the world.
“When studying Conflict Resolution in Boston, I realized that true peacemaking needs constructive grass-root exposure between cultures and cannot merely be theoretical. The media teaches us prejudice against other cultures, but in reality, we judge others, even though we have not even met them. This class aims to overcome prejudice between cultures by direct and constructive exposure facilitated by professors and Kokiri members.” – Hadi
Project Goal: Creating bridges through meaningful discussions and workshops by using the internet
