HIV/AIDS: Beyond My Own Backyard

Within the framework of the Dutch campaign about the right for health, iEARN Netherlands has organised a global educational project around HIV/Aids. The project will be run by ICT&E (www.ict-edu.nl) and Alice O (www.aliceo.nl), both members of the iEARN network in the Netherlands. iEARN Netherlands aims at ‘authentic learning’. Participation from several countries and continents guarantees that the final image of HIV/AIDS as a result of this project, will differ and will not be the result of the situation in one single continent. The projects offer several ICT-instruments as workingtools. As pre-condition to participate all participating schools have to have access to and experience with the necessary hard- en software. Exchange will be organised by email and the website of iEARN-Netherlands will play a key-role as the virtual place where everything will come together and where a wide audience can learn about the process and results of the work of the partners. Finally the websites of the schools will be used as a medium to give broad attention to the project. Every new participating school in the project receives a digital camera, to be used in the project.

Facilitated by: Bob Hofman and Gerard Lommerse in the Netherlands
