The School Connectivity Project for Southeast Europe
The School
Connectivity Project for Southeast Europe promotes electronic education
under the framework of a Stability
Pact Initiative to develop the digital economy in Southeast Europe
(SEE). This project enhances the use of information technologies in schools
while promoting inter-ethnic dialogue among students from different SEE
countries and generating personal and institutional ties among students,
educators, and their schools. It also engages U.S. schools in multilateral
linkages to promote mutual understanding and shared expertise. Through
an open merit-based competition, high schools in participating countries
are selected to receive computers and Internet connections. The program
provides training and support for developing joint thematic projects on
topics such as shared history and culture.
The project is administered by Catholic
Relief Services.
