Face to Faith: Teaching Global Citizenship
Beauchamp, Marcia
Phi Delta Kappan, v93 n4 p24-27 Dec 2011
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation has created a program that enables students to learn directly with, from, and about one another's culture, religion and beliefs. Face to Faith is a state-of-the-art educational program that addresses cross-cultural and inter-religious understanding in the context of study about global issues. The program uses videoconferencing and a secure and monitored online community to allow students ages 12-17 to communicate directly with their peers in countries around the world.
