Kids from Kanata
-a national telecommunications project linking urban and rural First Nations and non-Native students and teachers via the Internet. In the five years of the project so far, hundreds of schools and more than 6,000 Native and non-Native students have established friendships. Participating in KIDS FROM KANATA also provides a unique and personal experience of Canadian geography and history as students eagerly search for more information about the location and backgrounds of the communities of their newly found friends and also of themselves. At the same time, issues of racial tolerance are addressed by the program emphasis on the diversity of cultures. Students find that their new friendships quickly lead them across barriers of prejudice and stereotyping developed and maintained by generations of adults who did not have an opportunity to establish the kinds of personal links featured by this project.
