Paris Conference

For the SnowBlog.net project, I need to go to Paris, to present it to some people.

Long time readers of this blog surely know what it is about, but for newbies: SnowBlog stands for ‘Self Narratives On the Web. In words and pictures'

Several classes of children in Israel and the Palestinian Territories tell their narratives in words and images on their blogs.
Snowblog is an educational project aimed at forging paths for dialogue among youth belonging to communities in conflict.

Blogging combined with education is not new, but needs a major break through. And at this moment we are working on it.

Our project is being followed by several professors in Tel Aviv University, and starts to get some recognition in the educational field.
(Then again, that is just not enough. Money is the real matter, and that is still a tough question.)
Major results are being achieved, and right at this moment, a class in Gaza is busy with taking pics and posting them on the web.
Later on, these pics will be seen in a school in Tel Aviv, and 2 communities will start to exchange thoughts.

The results? I can tell you: amazing ones.
Last year, we gathers 2 linked classes, and it was a stunning moment.
