"Schools Build Community with Student News Programs
Schools are using digital video production in their efforts to foster 21st century skills in their students. Administrators are finding that these programs can also reach out to disconnected students and strengthen school community, with kids as young as 5 years old contributing."
The Roots & Shoots program (inspired and developed by Jane Goodall) is about making positive change happen-for our communities, for animals and for the environment. With tens of thousands of youngpeople in almost 100 countries, the Roots & Shoots network branches out across the globe, connecting youth of all ages who share a common desire to help make our world a better place. Participate in special events and global campaigns.
