The Transatlantic School Initiative was a project dedicated to building new partnerships between schools, students and educators in the US, Canada and Germany.

We invited all students K-12 to share their dreams, talents and ideas across the ocean – in the spirit of Peace, Democracy and quality education.  And soooo many of you have joined our digital transatlantic exchange; with self-create songs, poems, drawings and so much more.

DSC03206All levels of Transatlantic exchange were involved in one way or another:

From Los Angeles to Berlin, Berkeley to Jena, Chicago to Hamburg, Kölleda to the Meskwaki Nation, from New Jersey to Brandenburg, from Colorado to Northern Germany. From KidzHub Media in Oldbridge to Radiofüchse Hamburg. From kindergarten kids in Thuringia and Iowa to education and media experts, students and practictioners at the universities of UC Berkeley, UC LA, University of Missouri St. Louis. From the mayor of Berkeley to the sister city commitees of Stuttgart, St.  Louis, L.A. and Jena. From campus radio of university of Texas to community radio OKJ in Jena. From Goethe Institute to American Association of Teachers of German.

This was a unique common Transatlantic adventure; combining education, arts and fun – for peace and understanding.

One of the many exciting results: We received the prestigious….

Global Media and Information Literacy Award of UNESCO, UN Alliance of Civilizations and UNITWIN, the networks of universities of the United Nations!

Woohoo! 🙂
