ChildFund Connect is a global education program for children in their last years of primary school in Australia and developing countries. The program's objective is to provide children around the world with an opportunity to connect and learn from each other.
Using a variety of multimedia tools, with a central website acting as the hub for all communications and child-created content, the program facilitates cross-country exchanges and collaborative education projects. See examples of children's work at www.childfundconnect.org
By creating these communication links, children learn about the lives of their peers in different parts of the world. They are supported to ask their own questions, form their own ideas and plan their own collaborative projects with their overseas groups. This enquiry-led learning process allows children to explore each other's lives and develop a sense of global awareness and personal connection with children in another country.
ChildFund Connect began in 2010 and is supported by Australian Aid and ChildFund Australia.
