In occasion of the second edition of the Global Junior Challenge, whose Final Event will be kept in Rome from 9th December to 12th December, the Digital Youth Consortium promotes the twinning between ten Roman schools and ten schools coming from information-poor areas of the world that have participated to the Challenge. The aim is to facilitate the growth of solidarity projects between schools and allow their direct participation at the Final Event in Rome.

What do we ask to Roman schools?

To raise the amount to buy four flight tickets (3 students and one teacher) in order to help the twinned foreign schools to participate at the Final Event;

To organise a working day in ones school to favour getting to know each other and promote a united development of solidarity with the hosted school for the following two years;

To aid the development of united activities and periodical contacts between students and teachers of the Roman schools and the schools with which they are twinned.

Furthermore we use this occasion to present two initiatives included in our project www.e-inclusionsite.org:

“Adopt a school"

“Adopt a school” is for any organisation, community or individual from information-rich areas of the world who may wish to set up long-term relations of digital solidarity with schools from information-poor areas of the world. It is an open request-and-offer facility to help establish initial contacts between potentially “adopting” organisations and potentially “adoptable”..

“Anything you wish”

“Anything you wish” is for any organisation, community or individual from richer areas of the world who may wish to donate resources of any type to support the e-inclusion efforts of schools from disadvantaged areas of the world. It is an open request-and-offer facility to help establish initial contacts between potential donors and requesting schools.
