five years ago I had the simple thought that to prevent world conflicts, we should focus on increasing global awareness and understanding amongst cultures through education. All children, everywhere and no matter what age.
I thought of a website, maybe created by Google and sponsored by governmental educational institutions. A website, on which any school, college, academy and university is able to connect and work together throughout one network. Share and learn.
Imagine Roman from Amsterdam and Azizz from Oman, both seven years old. Exchanging hobby's and thoughts one hour per week through the net's translator program. How do you build an airplane?
Or Lars from Sweden, 12 years old and Charles from Dakar brought together through the net to write a geographical paper on each others countries. Learn while exchanging information.
Apparently the interest is BIG. Institutions at educational fares where blown away by the idea, a minister of education in the Netherlands saw potential too.
The only problem is the idea. It's too BIG. I would need all the time in the world and the right people around me to set this one up.
