telecommunications activity in which kids-of-all-ages meet (Earth Day,
April 22, 2000 is next) in videoconferences several times a year to share
their heart and ideas for making the world a happier, healthier, and more
peaceful/safer place. Kids (focus on K-12) create analog and digital art,
animation, web sites, etc. that demonstrate suggestions for improving the
planet and its peoples as preparation for Earth Day. The actual KidCast For
Peace is a CU-SeeMe (or other technology as resources develope) multi node
videocast in which kids share their work interactively with their peers
globally. "We are giving children an opportunity to tell the adults what to
do for a change," says project producer Peter H. Rosen; founder of
Visionary Artists Resources Including Other Unique Services; designed to
nurture the creative spirit in everyone and to help build better humans.
Project center is in KidCast Central: http://creativity.net/kidcast2.html.
