We are students from secondary school "V Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Roberta Schumana" in Sosnowiec - Poland.
We have decided to realize international project concerned with educational help and support to African school from Tanzania – "Leguruki Secondary School". This project is a consequence of our interest in Millenium Development Goals.
Through realization of our project we would like to support the recognition of human rights education and intercultural dialogue in formal and non-formal education.We hope that this website will contribute to better popularization of the kinds of projects and maybe will help our friends from Tanzanian school!
Through our actions we would like to develop the attitude of openness and tolerance for others. This project was designed to encourage students to help Africa. It is necessary to assist these in their attempt to get access to education and to equal chances.
This project covers different fields: civilization (culture/foreign language), everyday life of the country and its inhabitants, aspects concerned with Millenium Development Goals and also mathematics.

Aims:

• encouraging to discover foreign cultures
• developing communication competence
• integration through language and culture
• using and developing modern information and communication technologies (ICT)
• cultural understanding
• sharing the diversity of European and African cultures and communities
• helping to overcome existing prejudices
• mobilizing resources from developed Countries all over Europe and else where to help African schools better than they are today by improving learning and teaching environment and supporting poor and orphan educational needs
• introducing students to social, educational and political problems of African countries, including intercultural phenomena
• sensitizing students to what is common and present the differences in the "uniting global world"

We organized many different activities concerned with "Millenium Development Goals Campaign" and our school joined to European Global Schools!
Information presented in the media often shows negative points of African countries which make people not willing to get to know the countries of the South. There are a few opportunities to get first - hand information or meet people from the countries of the South who would like to exchange their experience.
The project enables the South and the North to meet virtually. It also gives us more information about the real situation in African countries and makes meeting their inhabitants possible. It aims to keep peace in the world. Young people have an opportunity to learn how to establish contacts with the countries of the South and North. The project helps the participants create their own publications and studies. The African partners are given opportunities to present their initiatives and ideas.

Actions undertaken within the project:

• establishing and keeping mails contacts with Tanzanian teachers and students
• familiarizing the participants of the project with Tanzanian geography, nature, politics and economyeEncouraging students to correspond with African students
• preparing multimedial school presentations
• organization global action which will be concerned with "Millennium Development Goals Campaign"

To organize "Our educational support for African school", at the beginning of realization of our project we organized financial support to send parcels with various educational materials like books, stationery ect.
By creating this site, we hoped that people will gain knowledge about global problems in our modern world. We chose to enter our site in the ThinkQuest competition, since their library is used by people at all ages around the world.

We hope that this action will enable students to learn more about global issues such as children’s rights, climate change and fair trade, undertake a "global challenge", for example to support fair trade or to use energy and water more efficiently, become part of the solution to some of the world’s biggest challenges, create innovative and effective ways of linking their learning to responsible action, investigate what you can do to help and act to create a better world for people on the planet.
