Gemini Project
The Gemini Project is an initiative of a London-based non-profit organisation who specialise in developing classroom contact between UK and African schools, and the software platforms and curriculum projects to support this collaboration. The ability of Gemini’s tools to be used in locations where ICT facilities are often very basic means that this kind of vital work is becoming increasingly possible for schools everywhere.
We have trialled a number of Gemini projects in schools in recent years, and the impact has been tremendous. It has been a joy to see the motivation of teenagers in the UK to undertake serious discussions on a range of critical world citizenship issues with their peers in Africa. The projects have also supported the development of key skills such as literacy and communication. This evaluation has been a significant help to Gemini in their efforts to attract further funding for their work.
