Filmed in March and April 1998, this
video uses examples of actual community-based projects in
Senegal and Togo in which children are working on solutions
to environmental problems such as desertification and water
pollution. These stories are presented in the hope that they
will inspire young people in Canada to educate themselves
and others on environmental issues and the important contribution
that young people can make to their communities locally and
globally.
The video can be used as a classroom
activity in itself, or as background to discussions and additional
activities (see Activity links at right). Students could be
encouraged to ask questions about what they see and hear,
and seek additional information on West Africa and the people
who live there.
The
video can be downloaded online in .wmv format. Viewing
the video requires that Windows Media Player is installed
on your computer. Windows
Media Player can be downloaded free from Microsoft.com.
