connect, connect,connect

Was the BBC right to give Nick Griffin air time to voice his views?
Was he bullied by a non-representative panel?
Should we feel reassured by the free speech that we heard?
Or worry that it will fuel fires?

One thing is for sure; the more we connect with people who come from different backgrounds, or have different perspectives, the more we are able to find common ground, harmony and understanding.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Hucklow primary school today and hearing how they are forging links with a school in Karachi. Looking forward to hooking up praise pods in both schools to learn about life from another point of view.

Pen pals is still a lovely thing to get involved in, but why not harness Web 2.0 to connect and give children a real global perspective. Check here for one source of funding. . .
