THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
Five UK-based Web sites are among the handful selected as finalists for this
year's ChildNet Awards, a competition honoring the best Web sites developed
by youth. The contest, sponsored by ChildNet International and Cable &
Wireless, received submissions from over 50 nations this year. Among this
year's finalists are Priorywoods School, a British school for the learning
disabled; YouthNoise.org, a US-based online community where young people can
debate and take action concerning pressing issues like gun violence and AIDS
prevention; and IEARN Sierra Leone, an educational initiative seeking to
engage youth on peace and reconciliation. The winners will be announced
April 24 at the Science Museum in London.
