Every year, during March World Vision runs a month-long Internet programme
for schools. Each programme has a new focus and links up with a different
country.

happens and what can be done about it. The 2004 Frontline Connection
makes
this possible through a variety of experiences including a simulation
game,
the real life stories of children and people who have worked in
conflict
zones around the world, online. Register

Education Connection's Concept
| | | |
Our concept is to use the Internet to link up young people in New Zealand
with aid workers and young people overseas.
The programme centres around a website that includes information, photos,
daily stories, discussions, questions and answers, puzzles and games.
Registered schools receive email updates, can tune into
live audioconferences with experts and gain access to passwords for the interactive sections of the website.
The websites have live activities for one month but remain online indefinitely
so schools can continue to use them.
If you'd like to find out more, visit one of websites or contact
us at: education.nz@worldvision.org.nz.
