Project Description:

This exciting project is created to help schools from different parts of the world build communication bridges and learn more about each other via Video Messaging. It provides a wonderful opportunity to students to connect with peers around the world and get acquainted with their school life - studies, interests, hobbies, preferences, ask any questions to get knowledge about towns, cities and countries they live in. It is also an opportunity for students and educators to become community ambassadors and spread Global Friendship by working collaboratively.
