Bridges to Understanding
BRIDGES to Understanding gives voice directly to children around the world.
Their interactive online program connects middle school students in the developed world with their contemporaries in indigenous communities. Central to the program is digital storytelling mentored by professionals and created by students. They provide the tools and training that enable them to tell stories from their own lives and communities. These stories are shared through their website where their students can engage each other, ask questions abour each others' lives and collaborate on creating multimedia stories exploring their cultures.
