The World’s Greatest Smile Peace School
|
Education leads to understanding,
understanding leads to tolerance,
tolerance leads to communication
- and communication leads to peace.
|
|
That’s why we open our first World’s Greatest Smile – online School now. Education topics range from communication, teamwork and diplomacy to language-training and all kind of useful, interesting and entertaining international knowledge to enhance reciprocative international understanding.
We want to provide an international location and free access for as many people as possible from all over the world. Moreover we want a platform which allows high qualified teachers - some of them will be celebrities and Nobel Laureates - an easy access so that they can teach as often as they like to.
Therefor we decided to start with a virtual school. After one and a half year searching and testing a good format we decided to use the virtual world “Second Life” as the technological basis, because it is free for students and teachers, provides great opportunities for visual and even auditive communication and education, and is fun as well. Moreover people can make friendships irrespective their nationality, colour of skin, religion, wealth or gender.
Besides that we plan to publish some of the lessons on the World’s Greatest Smile website.
