General Information
The Global Teenager Project connects students globally by sharing web based classroom discussions in a safe and structured environment. It gives schools a kick-start in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It also provides students with a strong basis in communication skills and valuable insights into other cultures. Finally, it livens up the teaching process as teachers incorporate new ideas and methods into their classes and allow students to take a higher level of ownership in learning.
Mission and Objectives

The Global Teenager Project (GTP), initiated and co-funded by IICD, offers thematic Learning Circles to Elementary, Secondary and Vocational schools, including Special Needs Education. Founded in 1998, GTP offers collaborative global learning to over 16.000 students in 40 countries, in the following six languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch and Arabic. GTP Learning Circles are offered twice a year, including themes based on the Millennium Development Goals.
