The Who-Am-I? program
Who-Am-I? was developed by Kidlink with funding from The National Center for Educational Resources (Norway) - , The Danish Ministry of Education's Department of Primary and Lower Secondary Education (Denmark) -, The Swedish National Agency for Education - , and Microsoft.
This eight-month multi-lingual educational program comes in two versions, one for the southern and one for the northern hemisphere. It has the following contents:
Northern hemisphere   Southern hemisphere
Who am I?   September - November   March - April
Where do I live?   October - December   May - June
What are my rights?   November - January   June - July
My friends and family   January - February   August - September
What are my roots?   February - March   September - October
Virtual Vacation   March - May   October - November

In the last module, participants reach out to friends across country and language frontiers. The process includes finding qualities of their own homes to attract virtual visitors from other places, and building positive self esteem.
Who-Am-I? is designed to help strengthen participating languages and cultures, motivate collaboration between students by sharing cultural information, and build friendships. Besides being a massive training effort in the use of Internet, its main goal is to help teachers enhance their existing curriculums. This is achieved by inviting their students to join an exciting program having a meaning that youth find relevant, and by giving the students an audience.
We believe working with teachers is key to reform in Education. Kidlink not only works with them, but make them work with us and become active elements of our approach. The result is real learning by using a strategy that works perfectly with teachers of every background.
