The Global Kids project is foccused on raising young people's awareness on a range of issues including human rights, the rights of the child, the environment and respecting difference.

The project uses a number of techniques to engage participants, including activities within Teen Second Life including leadership programs, major events which allow teens to communicate and interact with world leaders and experts in a range of fields, and creative projects exploring a range of global issues. Although adults are unable to visit the Teen Grid, you can find out more about Global Kids at their Info Space on the Main Grid - a space seeks to promote and share the work of the Global Kids team, and also hosts a range of discussions and presentations on related topics for educators.
