Empower
Peace successfully launched another webcast in our
EP World Classroom Series on April 15, 2008
emanating from Charlestown High School in
Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA. The response was
tremendous, with over 300 students in 13 different
countries participating!
CHS students engaged in dialogue about student life in the US, sports and other after school activities and showed off some of their language skills by greeting viewers in traditional Arabic fashion. In total 7 CHS students shared their lives to the audience from around the world.
During the broadcast, those viewing -- from as close as Pennsylvania to as far away as Pakistan -- asked intimate questions of the Charlestown High School students. Questions ranged from politics and school violence to snow days and the weather.
For those of you who were not able to watch the webcast live, it is now archived here on our website. You can also click on the link here to watch it!
