Children from around the world can again win top honors and prize awards for their participation in "KidCast for Peace; Solutions for a Better World," happening for the 12th time on April 20 and 22. The videoconference and gatherings will connect those in schools, at home and global Earth Day events. All children-at-heart are invited to participate by creatively responding to the question they put to adults: "How would you make Earth and its peoples, happier, healthier, and more peace filled?" You can share suggestions in any form of art, prose, poetry, song, music, performance, etc. and participate with (or without) free videoconferencing software at any time. Instructions and gatherings will be announced in KidCast Central: http://creativity.net/kidcast2.html. Global Community participation is encouraged as always in this "living art gallery" event on both days. For more information contact: kidcast12@creativity.net, visit the web site or call the KidCast for Peace office: (808) 875 4747.
KidCast for Peace is a live interactive edutainment event, multimedia art show, Web site competition and experience/happening that dissolves boundaries of time and space. KidCast For Peace was the first ever World Wide Web videoconference for children, sanctioned by educators and corporations. The project now in its ninth year has connected over 200 children in schools, homes and cyber cafes from California, Texas, Amsterdam, Singapore, Croatia, Belfast, Hawaii (in a submerged submarine no less), and elsewhere since 1995.
"KidCast for Peace is helping to build smart kids, not smart bombs," offers KidCast Coordinator, Peter H. Rosen. He founded Visionary Artists Resources Including Other Unique Services (V.A.R.I.O.U.S. Media, 501c3) to produce edutainment experiences for a prototype "New School for the Next Millennium"
called Creativity Café. “This is an Edutainment
Factory.” According to Mr. Rosen, “Our intention is to provide neighborhood access to technology and facilitate the public’s creative expression. This brings opportunities which help kids (and adults) develop self-esteem, communication and job skills. We are delighted to see desktop broadcasters and multimedia producers everywhere (the new media storytellers) creating more positive edutainments that help generations evolve in fun and friendly ways!"
