Global Kids and UNICEF team up for virtual children’s festival (video)

Posted on January 26, 2007 by

Barry and Rafi over at Global Kids sent out news that UNICEF just featured a cool little video on their joint project "A World Fit for Children" festival.  It’s a nice demonstration of the potential of virtual environments to bring people from all over the world together, in ways that would not be possible on the web, and prohibitively expensive in the real world.  And it’s awesome that at least one UN agency is experimenting with these kinds of digital spaces to promote their work.

Makes me wish that I could jump into the Second Life Teen Grid to see what kinds of projects these kids created for the festival.
