I have received this very interesting e-mail from Offscreen representative. What is Offscreen? It's an award-winning Social Enterprise promoting cross-cultural understanding amongst young people. They are a not-for-profit initiative specialising in building creative bridges between the UK, Middle East and wider Islamic World. For the past 2 years Offscreen have organised and executed student expeditions between the Islamic Middle East and the UK, in order to create a legacy of cultural understanding and create genuinely ‘Global Citizens’ of the future.
For 2010 Offscreen in partnership with HSBC, British Council Qatar, Al-Tajir Trust, Bold Creative and Digital Explorer plan to take 2 young people from Kuwait on an adventure of a lifetime by bringing them to the UK. As part of the journey the students will be creating artwork and updating a website with photos, videos, and diary entries. The students will be leaving Kuwait on the 11th July at 4am.
The project aspires to positively effect the lives of these 2 young Kuwaitis, facilitate face-to-face discussions between over 1000 young people, amplify the positive messages to over 20,000 youth online and in the classroom, and generate quality media that reaches and educates millions internationally.
