"Our Stories" Oral History Project Collaborates Worldwide

I just read about this program where Google, UNICEF and OLPC are going to support an oral history program called Our Stories. UNICEF launched this program on December 7. They launched a website www.ourstories.org where children are sharing their perceptions of their world. There are stories from Brazil, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania and Pakistan. They say that it will soon feature children's stories from Argentina, Ethiopia and Nigeria, and translations of the site into eight languages.

This is a miraculous project. It appears that the original stories were created in booths that were set up as part of an international trip to a children's conference at the UN. This is a powerful opening for this project, but Google, UNICE and OLPC are trying to expand the project so that children will be able to use their XO computers record their stories and then submit them to the Ourstories project.

Welcome to the UNI Bump on a Blog

This is the beginning of an exciting experience with our Selection and Integration class. We will blog as a group about the opportunities with collaborative projects.
