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.
