\nConnecting Classrooms<\/a> is the joint project between UNICEF<\/a> and Blue Ventures, which will\u00a0enhance our community-based conservation programmes through innovative, technological teaching tools<\/em> for the youth of coastal southwest Madagascar. By using interactive learning techniques and ‘connecting’ the students with their peers, both internationally and in Madagascar, \u00a0they will learn about the natural world.<\/p>\n

Please use this link<\/a> to see a video by Jon Slayer which documents the Connecting Classrooms participants trip to a baobab forest. This film highlights the importance of activities like this in youth centred conservation.<\/p>\n
