Brazil - UNICEF and British Telecom launch ‘edu-communi. SÃO PAULO Brazil, 11 April 2008 – The excitement was palpable at the recent launch of the new UNICEF and British Telecom youth participation programme focusing on education and communication in low-income communities in Brazil.
One participant, Maria, 12, was certainly inspired, proudly declaring: “If you see that the world isn’t changing, it’s up to you to change it!” The UNICEF-BT programme will support and train Brazilian adolescents to use a range of communication tools to improve the quality of education in their schools and communities – and to teach them to make better life choices. Some 10,000 adolescents at schools in five of Brazil’s largest cities – São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador and Fortaleza – will benefit from the partnership.
