Colleagues,

-----------
Through a partnership between Global Nomads Group, MAGPI, NJEDge.Net, and the Internet2 Commons, we are excited to announce that the Mozambique Alive series of nine videoconferences will be available via live webstream for FREE. 

Mozambique Alive is a live interactive educational program that will bring the world's youth face-to-face during March and April of 2006 to discuss and learn about their respective cultures. Students will delve into issues such as:

Culture and Beauty: we will explore Mozambique through local food, music, dancing, world cultural sites and wildlife.
History: we will look at Mozambique since its independence, addressing issues such as the civil war.
Current Issues:  we will host discussions around gender issues.

Students in the US and Mozambique will travel on an educational journey, teaching and learning together. A series of classroom-to-classroom and remote broadcast conferences (with experts speaking from remote onsite locations) will provide a collaborative global education experience.
