Africa Lives On The BBC
World Class
BBC World Class
BBC World Class, a pan-BBC initiative,
will encourage schools to establish links between classrooms across the
globe through its new website bbc.co.uk/worldclass.
World Class aims to raise awareness of school twinning
amongst children, teachers and parents. It also provides support to schools
which wish to get involved in an international partnership.
World Class is also running a legacy project to tie in
to the BBC's Africa Season called 1000 Schools for Africa.
Across the season, networks and programmes will encourage
audiences to consider twinning their schools with schools in Africa.
We will celebrate existing school partnerships and make
the numbers up to a thousand and beyond.
On-air, the World Class Africa Season will be supported
by local radio stations across the country: it will be shared with children
on the BBC 7 Big Toe Radio Show
and on CBBC's Xchange,
and brought to the wider adult audience in Radio 4's Africa Day.
The Africa Service at the BBC World Service will contribute
through their interactive programme, Africa
Live, and Outlook
and Everywoman will bring
the 1000 Schools initiative to a global audience.
