Linking global campuses to grassroots schools
Openworld is exploring opportunities for campus-based allies — student groups with faculty advisors — to help Openworld Communities in applying innovative technologies and sustainable development strategies. A focus of these linkages will be to ensure that projects yield gains for Community Asset Trusts, whose land grant holdings are pivotal to the sustainabilty of local microvoucher funds and entrepreneurial schools for the poor.
Campus groups active in Openworld Community projects can help by offering Skype language practice sessions and eLesson editing services to entrepreneurial schools, by designing 3D models and confirming market interest in proposed development projects for land grant areas, and by contributing to the design and support of eGovernment pilot projects to simplify business climates in the land grant areas.
