SoundAffects

SoundAffects uses audio recordings to connect children in classrooms world-wide, to enhance their understanding of the diversity of today’s world, and to equip them to be better citizens of tomorrow’s global community.

SoundAffects is currently working on two projects:

Ghana (2008–2009)

SoundAffects is working with sixteen linked schools in Ghana and the UK. In the first phase project leaders are working directly with children in schools in the UK and in Ghana. In the second phase SoundAffects will hand-over the recording operation in country to Ghanaian radio journalists and thereby ensure the project is sustainable.

Sri Lanka (2009–2010)

SoundAffects is working with linked schools in Sri Lanka and the UK. The Sri Lankan schools are located in Matara district, in the south of the country, in an area devastated by the December 2004 Tsunami.
